WP(C).No.23680 OF 2020(H)

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.
