Though the petitioner raised several contentions on merits regarding his purported entitlement for renewal of license even without there being subsisting lease agreement between him and respondent No.3, at the hearing, Sri N.Siva Reddy, learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that for the time being, the petitioner will be satisfied, if the Prohibition and Excise Superintendent, Rajahmundry, East Godavari District, is directed to dispose of his application for renewal. As this request is innocuous, the writ petition is disposed of with the direction to the Prohibition and Excise Superintendent, Rajahmundry, East Godavari District, to consider and pass appropriate order on merits and in accordance with law on the petitioner’s application for renewal of Form 2B license in respect of M/s.Himagiri Restaurant and Bar, Aryapuram, Rajahmundry, East Godavari District, within a period of four (4) weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. As a sequel to disposal of main petition, WPMP.No.18329 of 2009 filed by the petitioner for interim relief is disposed of as infructuous. C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J 14th JULY, 2009. kvni
