Learned Standing Counsel for the respondents submits that another licence of the petitioner was cancelled and the petitioner is not entitled for licence.

In the circumstances, since the petitioner is seeking renewal of the licence which was expired, this Writ Petition is allowed directing the respondents to consider the application of the petitioner for issuance of licence and issue the same in accordance with law, within a period of fifteen days from the date of receipt of a copy of this order, provided the petitioner is entitled for the same. Miscellaneous petitions, if any, pending in this Writ Petition shall stand closed. There shall be no order as to costs. ________________________________ (A.RAMALINGESWARA RAO, J) 19.09.2017 vs
