He is seriously aggrieved by the location of a liquor shop near the church by name, Indian Evangelical Lutheran Church. An application has been filed by the second respondent for issue of an FL-3 licence near the church. The petitioner seriously objects to the location of the said liquor shop. Therefore, he filed Ext.P1 representation before the first respondent. He seeks a direction to the first respondent to consider and dispose of Ext.P1 representation. 2. I have heard learned counsel for the petitioner as also the learned Government Pleader. 3. Having heard both sides, I direct the first respondent to consider and pass appropriate orders on Ext.P1, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate within a period of one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment, after affording an opportunity of being heard to the petitioner as well as the second respondent. However, I make it abundantly clear WP(C) NO. 13011 of 2007 :-2-: that I have not considered the merits of the contentions of the petitioner while directing disposal of Ext.P1. It would be for the first respondent to consider all aspects of the case in accordance with law. The writ petition is disposed of with the above direction. S.
