JUDGMENT
Dated this the 5th day of January 2021 The grievance of the petitioners herein is that Ext.P2 application submitted by them before the Managing Director of the 5th respondent-Corporation objecting to the shifting of a foreign liquor shop is still pending without consideration. When the matter was taken up, the learned Standing Counsel for the Beverages Corporation submitted that shifting will be done only after evaluating all possible objections and also the feasibility of shifting.
2. Having consider this, I am inclined to dispose of the writ petition with a direction that final decision shall be taken by the 5th respondent after having due regard to the objections made in Ext.P2 also.
The writ petition is accordingly dismissed.
