The petitioners in all these writ petitions were granted licences for the purpose of setting up Pan shops in the Bus station complex at Srikakulam in respect of open space Nos. 32, 14, 36 and 33 respectively. While the petitioners are running their business in terms of the licence notices dated 03.12.2009 were issued by the Corporation calling upon them to stop the sale of other items except Pan items, failing which action would be taken to terminate the licences to run the business of Pan shop duly forfeiting the security deposit as per the rules in force of the Corporation. Aggrieved by the same these writ petitions are filed contending that they were not selling any other items except Pan items as alleged by the respondents and at any rate there was no clause even in the agreements specifying the items which could be sold in the shops in question. These are all the aspects which require consideration by the licencing authority and it is neither possible nor necessary for this Court to express any opinion. Accordingly, the petitioners herein are permitted to submit their detailed explanations within a period of two weeks from the date of receipt of this order, treating the impugned notices as show cause notices. Thereafter, the respondents shall pass appropriate orders in accordance with law taking into consideration the explanations that may be submitted by the petitioners and communicate such orders to all the petitioners. Till such time, no steps shall be taken for terminating the licences held by the petitioners. Accordingly, all the Writ Petitions are disposed of. No costs. _____________ Date: 23.02.2010 G.
