Heard Sri M Krishnappa, learned counsel for the petitioner and Sri Sumanth L Bharadwaj, learned counsel for respondent Nos.1 and 2. Perused the materials on record. 3. It is the contention of the petitioner that the she was provided with milk vending shop situated in the District Court complex, Mysuru, subject to certain conditions. She was - 3 - HC-KAR NC: 2025:KHC:42938 WP No. 16727 of 2025 running business since 18 years. The petitioner was asked to vacate the premises on the ground that said premises is dilapidated and it requires renovation and the petitioner vacated the premises. Even after renovation of the premises, the same was not handed over to the petitioner for carrying on the business. On the other hand, Annexure-C dated 27.05.2025 was issued canceling the licence to carry on business in the said premises, which has been challenged in the petition. 4. It is the contention of learned counsel for the petitioner that prior to issuing Annexure-C, no proper notice was issued and principles of natural justice is denied and hence, Annexure-C is to be quashed. 5. Learned counsel for the respondents contended that Annexure-R16 was served on the husband of the petitioner, the same is admitted by the petitioner and the petitioner has not given any reply to Annexure-R16 dated 16.12.2023. But, however, the fact remains that for morethan a year, respondents have not taken any action on the basis of Annexure-R16. On the other hand, learned counsel for the respondents produced Annexure-R17 - notice dated - 4 - HC-KAR NC: 2025:KHC:42938 WP No. 16727 of 2025 01.04.2025. It is the specific contention of the petitioner that Annexure-R17 was never served on the petitioner. Respondents have produced the copy of notice along with courier receipt. Mere production of the receipt and the status report, for having booked courier will not support the case of the respondents for having served notice on the petitioner. 6. Learned counsel for the respondents submits that the respondents will serve notice afresh to hold an enquiry against the petitioner. Learned counsel for the petitioner has no objection to participate in the said enquiry if handing over the possession of the premises in question for vending Nandini Milk parlour is subject to the result of enquiry to be held. 7. In view of the above, I proceed to pass the following: ORDER (i) Writ Petition is disposed off. (ii) Respondent Nos.1 and 2 are permitted to serve notice on the petitioner and hold enquiry about the allegations made against her, by affording reasonable opportunity. - 5 - HC-KAR NC: 2025:KHC:42938 WP No. 16727 of 2025 (iii) The enquiry shall be concluded within a reasonable time i.e., atleast within three months and handing over of the possession of Milk parlour to the petitioner shall be subject to the result of enquiry to be held.
