THE HON'BLE Ms. JUSTICE G.ROHINI Writ Petition No. 15124 of 2003 Dated: 12.11.2010 Between: M/s. Sagar Fire Works & General Stores, Karimnagar and 2 others. ..... PETITIONER AND Government of Andhra Pradesh, Hyderabad and 7 others. .....RESPONDENTS THE HON’BLE Ms. JUSTICE G.ROHINI Writ Petition No. 15124 of 2003 ORDER: The petitioners, who claim to have been engaged in the trade of wholesale and retail sale of fire works and crackers filed this writ petition aggrieved by the proceedings dated 02.05.2003 issued by the District Collector, Karimnagar thereby preventing the petitioners from conducting their business in commercial and residential areas. It is brought to my notice that an identical question has been considered by this Court in W.P.No.21419 of 2002 and batch and by a common order dated 20.11.2009 the said writ petitions were disposed of with directions as under: “For the aforesaid reasons, I dispose of this batch of writ petitioners with a direction to the respondents not to insist the petitioners to shift their business premises, if they are doing such business in their licenced premises pursuant to the licences granted to them under the provisions of the Explosive Substances Act, 1884. However, it is made clear that if the respondents have any objection for grant/renewal of such licences, it is open to them to write to the licencing authorities as regards their objection for grant or renewal thereof. If any such communication is made by the respondents to the licencing authorities under the provisions of the Act and the rules made thereunder, I am sure that such authorities will keep in mind the instructions issued, while granting and renewing the licences for doing business in firecrackers.” Since the petitioners herein are also similarly situated and the issue raised is squarely covered by the order dated 20.11.2009 in W.P.No.21419 of 2002 and batch, following the said order, the writ petition is disposed of in terms of the directions extracted above. No costs. _____________ G. ROHINI, J Date: 12.11.2010 KLP
