The petitioner seeks the following reliefs in this writ petition : “a) Issue a writ of certiorari or other appropriate writ, order or direction quashing Exhibit P7 notice of the 4th respondent. b) Issue a writ of mandamus or other appropriate writ order or direction ordering the respondents 1 to 3 to issue licence to the petitioner immediately.” 2. I have heard the learned counsel for the petitioner, the learned Government Pleader and the learned counsel appearing for the 3rd respondent. 3. I am of opinion that having issued Ext.P7 stop memo, the 1st respondent has a duty to pass final orders pursuant to Ext.P7 expeditiously. Accordingly, I direct the 1st respondent to pass final orders pursuant to Ext.P7 as contemplated under law, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within one month from the date of receipt of a certified copy of this judgment, after affording an opportunity of being heard to the petitioner as well as the 3rd respondent. Since this Court had already issued an interim stay, that stay would continue to be in force till final orders are passed pursuant to Ext.P7.
