2. The case of the petitioners is that they were granted licence to the Bars attached to the TASMAC Shops bearing No.5316, 5556 and 5314, by proceedings of the third respondent dated 08.09.2015, 31.08.2015 and 04.09.2015 respectively. Thereafter, Shop No.5316 was shifted to some other place, based on the direction given by the Hon'ble Apex Court in Civil Appeal Nos.12164 to 12166 of 2016, dated 15.12.2016. The other two shops, viz., Shop Nos.5556 and 5314, were already running in the places, as directed by the Hon'ble Apex Court and all the three shops were running as per the conditions stipulated under Rule 8 of the Tamil Nadu Liquor Retail Vending (in Shops and Bars) Rules 2003. While so, the grievance of the petitioners is that due to the agitation of public, the third respondent orally instructed that the said shops will be closed shortly. Aggrieved by the same, the petitioners are before this Court.

3. Heard the learned counsel appearing on all sides.

4. After some arguments, the learned Counsel for the petitioners submitted that the petitioners are inclined to go before the authority concerned seeking the aforesaid prayer, for which, they are also inclined to submit proper representation.

5. Such being the case, these writ petitions are disposed of, with liberty to the petitioners to approach the authority concerned, by way of proper representation. No costs.

Consequently, connected Miscellaneous Petitions are closed. Sd/- Assistant Registrar(CS-II) /Truecopy/ Sub Assistant Registrar To The District Collector, Madurai District, Madurai.
