Apsara Theatre v. Government Of Andhra Pradesh

THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE A.V. SESHA SAI WRIT PETITION No.27273 of 2009 ORDER:

It is represented by the learned counsel for petitioner so also the learned Government Pleader that the issue in the present writ petition is squarely covered by the orders of this Court in W.P.No.23924 of 2010, dated 28.09.2015 and copy of the same is placed on record.

Following the above mentioned judgment and for the reasons recorded therein, the following order is passed:

As the petitioner-theatre claims to have rectified all the defects pointed out earlier in relation to fire safety measures and as the authorities concerned also confirmed this aspect, the writ petition is allowed, setting aside the impugned proceedings No.H7/7691/2009, dated 30.11.2009, issued by the Joint Collector and Licensing Authority, Nalgonda. However, this order shall not preclude the respondent authorities from causing inspection of the petitioner-theatre as and when necessary to verify as to whether sufficient fire safety measures have been put in place and in the event of deficiency is noticed in this regard, the petitioner-theatre shall be asked to make good the same in accordance with law. Miscellaneous petitions pending consideration, if any, in the Writ Petition shall stand closed in consequence. No order as to costs. ___________________ A.V. SESHA SAI, J 28.12.2015 SS
