THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE GODA RAGHURAM W.P.No. 14424 of 2006 14-07-2006 Between:- Signature Bar & Restaurant, situated at premises bearing No.16-2-705/A/A, Beside Chandana Brothers, Malakpet, Hyderabad, rep., by its proprietor M. Sudheer Reddy. Petitioner And The Commissioner of Police, Basheerbagh, Hyderabad and two others. Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE GODA RAGHURAM W.P.No. 14424 of 2006 Oral order: The submissions of the learned counsel for the petitioner at the admission hearing are at variance with the pleadings in the affidavit filed in support of the writ petition. The petitioner’s grievance is limited to the inaction of the respondents in disposing of his application for renewal of entertainment license which was submitted in December, 2005. Though the writ petition is filed aggrieved that the respondents are interfering with the running of his bar and restaurant, at the admission hearing it transpires that the petitioner has no current entertainment license which legitimizes the running of the bar and restaurant and therefore the respondents are well within their statutory obligations to close down the business of the petitioner in presenti. In view of the oral submissions at the admission hearing, the writ petition is disposed of directing the respondents, in particular the 1st respondent, to consider and dispose of the petitioner’s application stated to have been made on 15-12-2005 seeking renewal of the entertainment license for the petitioner’s Bar and Restaurant expeditiously, and in any event within a period of thirty (30) days from the date of receipt of a copy of this order, in accordance with law. No costs. _________________ GODA RAGHURAM, J Dated:14-07-2006 Pvks/*
