ROHINI WRIT PETITION No. 27350 OF 2011 ORDER: The petitioner, which is a Toddy Tappers Society, was granted licence for retail sale of toddy at Jammiched Village, Gadwal Mandal, Mahabubnagar District, which is valid upto 30.09.2012. It is stated that the members of the petitioner society has been conducting their business duly complying with the statutory provisions as well as the conditions of licence and there has never been any allegation with regard to their business. While so, at the instance of the Ex. MPTC of Gadwal Mandal, certain third parties started interfering with the business of the petitioner and also resorted to illegal tapping of trees allotted to the petitioner society. On a complaint lodged by the petitioner society, a crime was registered by the 2nd respondent and the enquiry is pending. That apart, the petitioner society has also made an application to the 3rd respondent on 22.09.2011 seeking police protection and requesting to take action against the persons mentioned in the representation for illegal tapping. Aggrieved by the inaction on the part of the 3rd respondent in considering their request, the present writ petition is filed seeking a direction to the 3rd respondent to consider the petitioner’s representation and take appropriate action in accordance with law. I have heard the learned counsel for the petitioner as well as the learned Government Pleader appearing for the respondents. The material placed before this Court shows that the representation made by the petitioner society was received in the office of the respondents 2 and 3 on 26.09.2011. The petitioner has also placed before this Court a copy of the licence, which shows that the said licence is valid upto 30.09.2012. In the circumstances, the respondents are bound to consider the petitioner’s grievance and take appropriate action following due process of law. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is disposed of with a direction to the respondents 1 to 3 to consider the petitioner’s representation dated 22.09.2011 and take appropriate action in accordance with law within a period of two (2) weeks from the date of receipt of this order.
