Siri Jagan, J. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= W. P (C) No. 19588 of 2008 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Dated this, the 24th July, 2008. J U D G M E N T In this writ petition, the contention of the petitioner is that although he has filed Ext. P1 application for registration and licence for a cashew packing centre, the same is not being considered. The additional 4th respondent would submit that the petitioner is not entitled to get the registration and it is the additional 4th respondent who is the rightful claimant. 2. I am not inclined to consider the rival contentions between the petitioner and the additional 4th respondent in this writ petition in so far as it is for the licensing authority to decide the matter in the first instance, after hearing both parties. Accordingly, I dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the 1st respondent to consider Ext. P1 and pass appropriate orders thereon after affording an opportunity of being heard to the petitioner and the additional 4th respondent as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. The petitioner shall forward a certified copy of this judgment along with a copy of the writ petition to the 1st respondent for compliance. Sd/- S. Siri Jagan, Judge. Tds/ [True copy] P.S to Judge.
