P (C) No. 27977 of 2008 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Dated this, the 30th September, 2008. J U D G M E N T The petitioner approached this Court complaining that although the petitioner and respondents 1 to 3 were joint licensees in respect of five toddy shops, respondents 1 to 3 are dealing with the excise authorities, excluding the petitioner in respect of the toddy shops. The petitioner even alleged that respondents 1 to 3 are forging the signature of the petitioner. 2. Today, when the matter was taken up, counsel for the petitioner and respondents 1 to 3 submitted before me that they have come to an understanding, whereby respondents 1 to 3 have agreed to file joint applications along with the petitioner. In the above circumstances, this writ petition is disposed of recording the above settlement and directing the 4th respondent to consider only the joint applications of the petitioner and respondents 1 to 3 ensuring that the signature in such applications is that of the petitioner.
