The petitioner sought for a consequential a direction to respondent No.1 to hold an enquiry into grant of TFT licences to respondent Nos.2 and 3. Sri M.Damodar Reddy, learned counsel for the petitioner, submitted that his client was granted TFT licence in respect of Sardarnagar Village, while respondent Nos.2 and 3, who are residents of Kurvaguda Village, were also granted licences for said Village and that the petitioner made representations to respondent No.1 with a request to change licences of respondent Nos.2 and 3 by substituting Kurvaguda Village for Sardarnagar Village. Sri B.Sairam Goud, learned counsel for respondent Nos.2 and 3, submitted that even though Kurvaguda Village is a separate Gram Panchayat, the same falls within Sardarnagar revenue village and that therefore, there is no bar on grant of TFT licences by taking the revenue village as the unit. The learned Assistant Government Pleader for Prohibition & Excise appearing for respondent No.1 submitted that respondent No.1 will consider the petitioner’s representations in the light of the existing Rules and take appropriate action in accordance with law. As the relief claimed by the petitioner in the writ petition is innocuous in nature, without going into the merits of the respective submissions of the learned counsel for the petitioner and respondent Nos.2 and 3, the writ petition is disposed of with the direction to respondent No.1 to consider the petitioner’s representations and take a decision in the light of the position obtaining under the Rules governing grant of TFT licences. The decision taken by respondent No.1 shall be communicated to the petitioner and respondent Nos.2 and 3 within a period of one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. As a sequel to disposal of the writ petition, W.P.M.P.No.37649 of 2010 is disposed of as infructuous. C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J 14th December, 2011 VGB
