O R D E R Learned Government Pleader appears for respondents 1 to 3. Adv.Mr.M.G.Karthikeyan appears for the fourth respondent. The writ petition related to the renewal of an FL-3 licence. The writ petitioner had filed an interlocutory application seeking a direction that a statutory revision may be ordered to be considered. In view of the pendency of the revision, the writ petition was closed. This is so obviously, because, there was no reason for this Court to assume that statutory authority will decide the revision without hearing the parties. But, what has turned out is that the revision filed by the writ petitioner was disposed of by the Government as per Annexure-A RP566/09 -: 2 :- on the same day of delivery of judgment, without hearing the parties. Ends of justice require that Annexure-A should not continue on the file and needs to be struck down. Accordingly, this review petition is allowed striking down Annexure-A and directing that the Government will take up the revision, hear the parties and issue decision de novo within 45 days from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.
