THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.8656 of 2007 ORDER: The petitioner established a coffee shop and eating-house in premises bearing No.8-2-574/B, Road No.7, Banjara Hills, duly obtaining trade licence from the Municipal Corporation for 2004-2005. It is stated that the licence has been renewed up to 31.03.2007. The petitioner contends that the licence fee of Rs.18,580/- was paid for the subsequent year i.e. 2007-2008. It is stated that the Assistant City Planner, respondent No.2 herein, did not renew the licence on the objections said to have been raised by the neighbours. The premises are said to have been closed for want of valid licence. Challenging the action of the respondents in closing the coffee shop and eating-house and for declaration that the action of respondent Nos. 1 and 2 in not renewing the licence is contrary to Section 521 of the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation Act and other relevant provisions of law, the present writ petition has been filed. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Standing Counsel for the Corporation. The only grievance of the petitioner is about the refusal on the part of respondent Nos.1 and 2 to renew the licence. The closure of the establishment is in fact a consequence thereof. While admitting the writ petition, this Court passed an interim order on 24.04.2007 directing that respondent No.1 shall pass orders on the application submitted by the petitioner for renewal within three days from the date of receipt of a copy of that order. It is not known as to whether any licence was granted or the application was rejected. If the licence was renewed, the grievance of the petitioner stands redressed. On the other hand, if it was rejected, the petitioner has to challenge the order of rejection. Either way, nothing remains to be decided in this writ petition. Hence, the writ petition is closed. There shall be no order as to costs. _____________________ L.NARASIMHA REDDY,J Dt:17.03.2011 kdl
