This writ petition is filed under Article 226 of the Constitution of India claiming the following relief; th “Issue Writ of Mandamus declaring the proceedings of the 4 respondent issued in RC.No. 166/2024/A2 dated 16.12.2024 as illegal, arbitrary and in violation of principles of natural justice. 2. The petitioner was granted A-4 license under the provisionsof A.P. Excise (Grant of License of Selling by Shop and Conditions of License) Rules, 2024 on 16.10.2024 valid upto 30.09.2026. He had been running the shopping in the name and style of M/s. Chinni Wines. The 4^^ respondent issued show cause notice in RC.No.166/2024/A2 dated 16.12.2024 alleging that the petitioner had committed certain irregularities, calling upon explanation of the petitioner as to why the license in respect of the petitioner’s shop shall not be suspended. The petitioner submitted explanation dated 31.12.2024, requesting to drop all further proceedings in pursuance of the show cause notice dated 16.12.2024. 3. Though the petitioner made several allegations against the respondents. during hearing, learned counsel for the petitioner requested this Court, to issue a direction to the respondents to dispose of the representation dated 16.12.2024, without touching the merits of the case. 4. Learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue readily agreed to dispose of the representation dated 16.12.2024, if any pending with the respondents. 5. In view of the submission of the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue, I need not decide the truth or otherwise of the allegations made in the petition. This Court is conscious that no such direction be issued, in view of the judgment of the Apex Court in “The Government of India v. P.Venkatesh^’’, wherein the Apex Court held that such orders may make for a quick or easy disposal of cases in overburdened adjudicatory institutions. But, f they do no service to the cause of justice. As the learned counsel for the petitioner himself requested to issue a direction to dispose of the representation dated 16.12.2024, I find no other alternative except to issue such direction. 6. In the result, the writ petition is disposed of, directing the respondents to dispose of the representation dated 16.12.2024 submitted by the petitioner pending with the respondents, after providing an opportunity of hearing to the petitioner and unofficial respondent, in accordance with law, within four (04) weeks from today. In the meanwhile, the respondents are directed not to take any coercive steps against the petitioner. No costs. 7. Consequently, miscellaneous petitions pending, if any, shall also stand closed.
