Having considered the averments in the writ petition and the various grounds raised, I am of the view that the only relief which can be legitimately aspired for by the petitioner is a hearing opportunity when the Corporation is considering the question of issue of licence to the respondents 5 and 6. I dispose of this writ petition issuing the following directions: If any application for licence (for the purpose manufacture of chemicals, detergents, etc.) filed by respondents 5 and 6 is pending before the Corporation, the Corporation will issue notice to the petitioner also before final orders are passed on that licence application.
