Heard the arguments and perused the writ papers with care. 4. Counsel Sri.Kushal Gowda., submits that a Communication was issued to the second petitioner for vacating auxiliary stall and two trolleys situated at Platform No.2 and 3, Arsikere Railway Station premises after completion of the license period. He argued by saying that after completion of the license period, the Railways have now granted license to run tea stall to the sixth respondent. Counsel therefore, submits that an appropriate order may be passed. 5. A perusal of Annexure-Q reflects that a Communication was issued to the second petitioner for vacating the auxiliary stall and two trolleys situated at Platform No.2 and 3, Arsikere Railway Station premises back in the year 2019 i.e., 27.02.2019. Moreover, because of the completion of the license period and the grant of the license in favor of the sixth respondent, the reliefs sought by the petitioners cannot be considered at this juncture. I decline to exercise power under writ jurisdiction. - 5 - NC: 2025:KHC:2439 WP No. 10895 of 2019 6. Resultantly, the Writ Petition is dismissed. Sd/- (JYOTI MULIMANI) JUDGE TKN List No.: 2 Sl No.: 14
