The petitioner’s representation has been examined taking the legal position and orders of the Hon’ble High Court in the case of Nizam Club, Hyderabad in W.P.No.3300/1987 dated 25.10.1998 into consideration wherein it was held that there was no requirement in law for the club to apply for and obtain permission U/s.21(f)(i) of the Hyderabad City Police Act as long as only the members and their guests are allowed but not the general public into the club. In view of the above order of the Hon’ble High Court the question of issue or renewal of Establishment Licence to run the club under Sec.21(f)(i) of the Hyderabad City Police Act, by the undersigned does not arise. However, the petitioner is informed that, if any illegal activities take place in the premises of the club action will be taken as per the law. He is advised to undertake only such activities that do not violate laws in force.” In view of the above re-produced memo which is taken on record, the cause in the writ petition does not survive for consideration. The writ petition is therefore, dismissed as infructuous. As a sequel to dismissal of the writ petition, W.P.M.P.No.1382 & 1383 of 2008 filed by the petitioner seeking interim relief are also dismissed. ___________________________ C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY,J Date:28.03.2008 mdaa
