In the impugned order, it is stated that the residents of the area complained against the permission granted to the petitioner and also due to the reasons stated by the A.D.E., A.P.S.E.B., Operation, Ramachandrapuram, the licence granted earlier is cancelled. The impugned order also referred to the resolution of the Municipal Council cancelling the permission. When electricity supply was disconnected to the petitioner’s premises, the petitioner approached this court by filing Writ Petition No.2124 of 1998, wherein, this court observed that in view of the show- cause notice dated 12.9.1997 issued under Sections 41(8) and 45 of Public Health Act, 1939, it is open for the respondents to pass appropriate orders after considering the explanation of the petitioner. In view of the said show cause notice issued earlier referred to above, it cannot be said that the impugned order is passed without any prior notice or opportunity to the petitioner. In any event, it is further stated in the impugned order that there were complaints from the residents of the locality against carrying on the commercial activity in such area. In that view of the matter, I do not find any ground for interference in this writ petition. The writ petition is devoid of any merits and is dismissed accordingly.
