THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE GODA RAGHURAM WRIT PETITION No. 21871 of 2006 DATE: 19-10-2006 Between: M.Srinivas and others …Petitioners. And The District Collector, Nalgonda District, Nalgonda and others. …Respondents. THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE GODA RAGHURAM W.P.No. 21871 of 2006 Oral order: The petitioners have applied to the 1st respondent for issue of a no-objection certificate for enabling renewal of his explosive licence for the year 2006-07. The application is stated to have been made in March, 2006. The petitioners grievance is that the 1st respondent has not disposed of the petitioners application. It is also asserted that on 12-9-2006 the 1st respondent has called for a report from the District Fire Officer and the Mandal Executive Magistrate and Revenue Officer, Nalgonda for information and to offer objections if any for enabling consideration of the petitioners application for a no-objection certificate. Nothing is known thereafter. The crux of the matter is that the 1st respondent has not passed orders on the petitioners’ application. This is the substantive grievance in this writ petition. Having heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned Government Pleader for Home for the respondents, the writ petition is disposed of at the stage of admission directing the 1st respondent to consider and dispose of the petitioners application as expeditiously as possible and in any event within a period of one week from today, for grant of a no-objection certification. Nothing of this order is to be construed as the expression of this Court on the merits of the petitioners’ application for grant of a no-objection certificate. No costs. _________________ GODA RAGHURAM, J 19th October, 2006 Note: Issue operative portion by wire. /B.O/ GRR
