THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE V.ESWARAIAH WRIT PETITION No.18209 of 2000 ORDER: Petitioner seeks to issue a Writ of Mandamus declaring the action of the 2nd respondent in granting licence in favour of the 3rd respondent in Ward Nos.4 and 5 for allotting New Toddy Shop at Newporatapalle, Medipally village, Ramagundam Mandal, Karimnagar District, as illegal and arbitrary and consequently direct the 2nd respondent not to grant any licence in favour of the 3rd respondent. A counter has been filed stating that 17 candidates are proposed to form a Society, but only four members became eligible. It is further stated that the request of the 3rd respondent for sanction of a new shop at Newporatapalle has been rejected vide proceedings in Rc.No.1067/2000/P&E/B1, dated 14-07-2000, because of insufficient number of eligible candidates from a Toddy Tappers Co-operative Society and the alternative TFT also could not be formed at Newporatapalle, as it comes under the Municipal area. Thus, it is stated that no sanction was accorded to the 3rd respondent for formation of a new shop at Newporatapalle. In view of the aforesaid counter that no sanction was accorded to the 3rd respondent for formation of a new shop at Newporatapalle, I am of the opinion that no orders are required to be passed in this writ petition. Accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed. However, if any new Toddy Tappers Co-operative Society is formed contrary to the excise rules and guidelines, it is always open for the petitioner to question the same in accordance with law. There shall be no order as to costs. ___________ 31-03-2008 Prv
