THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE N.V. RAMANA WRIT PETITION No.24068 of 2010 ORDER: The petitioner, who is running “New Geetha Star Canteen (shop No.3200067(3))” located in Kollisaradha Wholesale Vegetable Market, Old Guntur, Guntur District, filed this writ petition seeking to issue a writ of Mandamus declaring the action of the respondents in interfering with his business in the said canteen as illegal and arbitrary. Heard both sides. Admittedly, the petitioner is running a canteen in the said premises. It is the case of the petitioner that the Commissioner, Municipal Corporation, Guntur, has issued proceedings, dated 17.05.2000, permitting him to run the canteen throughout the nights also in view of arrival of vegetable lorries even at that time. His main grievance is that the respondents-Police are compelling him to close his canteen after 8 pm everyday, if not, they are threatening to file cases against him. Hence, the present writ petition. Learned Government Pleader for Home appearing for the respondents produced the written instructions, signed by the Assistant Sub-Inspector of Police, Old Guntur Police Station, Guntur, wherein it is stated that the Police have never interfered with the business activities of the petitioner in the said canteen. But, however, the para- wise remarks indicate that the business activities of the petitioner are creating some nuisance and already some petty cases were book against him. In view of the said statements made in the written instructions, the writ petition is liable to be disposed of. In the result, the writ petition is disposed of. However, if the business activities of the petitioner are creating any traffic problems or any nuisance, the Police are at liberty to proceed against him in accordance with law. There shall be no order as to costs. ______________________ JUSTICE N.V.RAMANA 05th October, 2010 dr
