L.Venugopal Rao, v. The,State Of Telangana

THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTI CE A.V.SESHA SAI W r it Pet it ion No.2 6 1 3 2 of 2 0 1 8 ORDER:

Heard learned Counsel for the petitioner and learned Government Pleader for the respondents.

A show cause notice bearing Rc.No.03/ 2017/ P&E/ B3, dated 28.06.2018, calling upon the petitioner to show cause as to why the licence of the petitioner should not be suspended is under challenge in this Writ Petition.

According to the learned Counsel for the petitioner, the very action of the respondents in issuing impugned notice is highly illegal and contrary to law and cannot be sustained. On the other hand, it is submitted by the learned Government Pleader that the impugned notice is only a show cause notice and no final orders have been passed so far pursuant to the said show cause notice and without filing the explanation, the present Writ Petition is filed before this Court and against the said show cause notice, the present Writ Petition is not maintainable.

Having heard the learned Counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader, this Court deems it appropriate to dispose of the Writ Petition, keeping it open for the petitioner herein to submit explanation to the impugned show cause notice, dated 28.06.2018, issued by the District Prohibition & Excise Officer, within a period of one week from the date of receipt of this Order. If any such explanation is submitted by the petitioner herein, within the time stipulated above, the respondent No.2 is

directed to consider the said explanation and pass appropriate Orders, in accordance with law, as expeditiously as possible. Miscellaneous petitions pending, if any, shall stand disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs. _____________________ JUSTI CE A.V.SESHA SAI Date: 26.07.2018 smr
