Thereupon, the petitioner will have the liberty of invoking his statutory remedies by way of appeal against the final order. Considering the above directions, the interim order passed by this court on 19/03/2008 will continue for a period of one month from today. In the meanwhile, the Municipality is also directed to pass orders on the renewal application covered by Ext.P16 receipt and communicate the decision to the petitioner. It is needless to say that till such time as WPC.No.9351/08 2 orders are passed on the licence renewal application and communicated to the petitioner, the Municipality will not interfere with the running of the hospital by the petitioner.
