THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING BEEN FINALLY HEARD ON 03/06/2011, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: rs S. SIRI JAGAN, J. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - W.P.(C)No. 35119 of 2007 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Dated this the 3rd day of June, 2011 J U D G M E N T The petitioner is a tenant in a room in a shopping complex owned by the 1st respondent Panchayat. He obtained the same in public auction conducted by the Panchayat. The petitioner applied for renewal of the license agreement for the room. But by Ext.P4 notice the Panchayat terminated the license agreement without an opportunity of being heard to the petitioner. The petitioner challenged Ext.P4 before the 2nd respondent by filing Ext.P5 appeal. The same was dismissed by the 2nd respondent by Ext.P6. It is under the above circumstances the petitioner has filed this writ petition seeking the following reliefs: “(a) issue a writ of certiorari or any other appropriate writ or order quashing Exhibit P-6 orders passed by the 2nd respondent and pursuant to Exhibit P-8 notice issued by the 1st respondent; (b) issue a writ of mandamus or any other appropriate writ, order or direction, directing the 1st respondent to renew the agreement of lease for Room No.S4 in the Shopping Complex owned by the 1st respondent with escalation of rent as per their proposal in Exhibit P-2 notice forthwith;” W.P.(C)No. 35119 of 2007 -2- Ext.P8 is the notice issued consequent to Exts.P4 & P6 directing the petitioner to vacate the building. At the time of admission, I passed the following interim order: “Admit. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the period of agreement is to expire shortly and despite an application submitted by the petitioner for renewal of the license, no action is being taken by the 1st respondent. There would be a direction to the 1st respondent to consider the application for renewal of license stated to have been submitted by the petitioner and to pas orders on the same before the expiry of the present license period.” It is now submitted by both sides before me that, the application of renewal of license of the petitioner was considered by the Panchayat and the same has been renewed up to 31.03.2012 and therefore no further orders are necessary in this writ petition. Accordingly recording the same, the writ petition is closed. Sd/- S. SIRI JAGAN JUDGE //True copy// P.A. TO JUDGE shg/
