Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.RAMULU W.P.No.14463 of 2003 ORDER: The petitioner is a LPG distributor in Atmakur town since 1987. He was given permission to run extension counter at Nandikotkur in the month of August 1990 and since then he has been continuing his business at Nandikotkur. However, with an apprehension that the authorities may consider the request of third parties for grant of extension counter in Nandikotkur town, which would mar his business, petitioner filed the present writ petition. Therefore, there is no necessity of going into all the details. It is suffice to direct the respondents not to grant any extension counter in favour of third parties in Nandikotkur town without putting the petitioner on notice and without hearing him in this regard. The authorities are at liberty to pass appropriate orders in accordance with law after giving opportunity to the petitioner. With the above direction, the writ petition is accordingly disposed of. No order as to costs. _____________ C.V.RAMULU, J Date: 29.6.2006 DA THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.RAMULU W.P.No.14463 of 2003 29.6.2006
