Pragathi v. The Commissioner of Police

ORDER Heard the learned Senior Counsel appearing for the writ petitioner, the learned Government Advocate appearing for the respondents 1 and 2 and the learned Standing Counsel appearing for the third respondent.

¶2The petitioner wants to sell crackers. She needs temporary license for the same. The petitioner had earlier filed writ petition before this Court and pursuant to the direction given by this Court, the Commissioner of Madurai Corporation had issued trade receipt also. The only reason why the impugned order has been passed by the first respondent is that the trade receipt has not been furnished. Now the trade receipt is available. The impugned order can no longer survive. Hence it is set aside. The first respondent is directed to issue license to the petitioner.

¶3This writ petition is allowed accordingly. There shall be no order as to costs.
