THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY Writ Petition No.7423 of 2009 Dated 20th April, 2011 Between: B.Rajasekhar …Petitioner And The Prohibition & Excise Superintendent, Kurnool District, Kurnool and others …Respondents Counsel for the petitioner: Sri Nandigam Krishna Rao Counsel for respondent: AGP for Prohibition & Excise The Court made the following: ORDER: At the interlocutory stage, the writ petition is taken up for hearing and disposal with the consent of the learned counsel for the parties. This writ petition is filed for a mandamus to set aside the proceedings in Rc.No.B1/215/2009, dated 03.04.2009, of respondent No.1, whereby he has called upon the petitioner show cause as to why his excise licence shall not be cancelled. This Court by order, dated 09.04.2009, granted interim suspension of the show-cause notice. Though this Court has strong reservation about the maintainability of the writ petition against the show-cause notice issued by respondent No.1, who undoubtedly has the power to issue such notice, in view of the fact that the licence period has expired by 30.06.2010 as submitted by the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Prohibition & Excise and not disputed by the learned counsel for the petitioner, it is not necessary to adjudicate the case on merits. Accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed as infructuous. As a sequel to dismissal of the writ petition, the interim order, dated 09.04.2009, granted by this Court in W.P.M.P.No.9753 of 2009 shall stand vacated and W.P.M.P.No.9753 of 2009 and W.V.M.P.No.2822 of 2009 are disposed of as infructuous.
