COMMON JUDGMENT [Judgment of the Court was delivered BY K.N.BASHA, J] Mr.V.Pandi, learned Government Advocate, takes notice for the respondent. By mutual consent of the learned counsel on either side, the writ appeals themselves are taken up for final hearing at the stage of admission itself. 2.These three writ appeals are directed against the common order, dated 18.10.2011, passed by the writ court in W.P.(MD)Nos.11957, 11960 and 11961 of 2011, directing the respondent to inspect the properties in all these cases, examine the feasibilities and pass fresh orders within three days. 3.Mr.R.Singaravelan, learned counsel appearing for the appellants, would submit that the appellants are carrying on cracker business for more than 10 years and they have also obtained necessary licences from the competent authorities, periodically and even in respect of the present year, they have fulfilled all the requirements and the respondent is now only insisting that the appellants should provide two entrances in the shops in which they sell crackers. It is pointed out by the learned counsel for the appellants that the shop premises are pucca building and it is not possible for the appellants to make provision for another entry within a short point of time, as the festival Deepavali is nearing and falls on 26.10.2011 and already they have invested huge amount in purchasing crackers and such crackers are lying in shops and if they are not allowed to sell those crackers, the appellants would be put into great hardship and irreparable loss. 4.Heard the learned Government Advocate on the submissions made by the learned counsel for the appellants. 5.A perusal of the writ court order would make it very clear that the orders impugned in the writ petitions were passed by the respondent after nearly seven months of the applications made by the appellants and that too in cyclostyled formats and having satisfied about the vagueness in respect of the orders impugned, the writ court directed the respondent to inspect the properties and find out feasibility of allowing the appellants to sell crackers and pass orders within three days. 6.However, Deepavali Festival is nearing and it falls on 26.10.2011. Learned counsel for the appellants would submit that it is not feasible for the appellants to make additional entrance as the buildings are pucca buildings. Considering the admitted fact that the appellants have already fulfilled other requirements by obtaining necessary 'no objection' from the competent authorities and the appellants have also invested huge amount for purchase of crackers, this Court is inclined to https://hcservices.ecourts.gov.in/hcservices/ 3 dispose of all these writ appeals with a direction to the respondent herein to permit the appellants to carry on their cracker business till 26.10.2011. 7.With the above direction, all the writ appeals stand disposed of. No costs. Connected M.Ps. are closed.
