2017 (8) TMI 1109 - HC - Indian LawsLicense for retail outlets - license fees - delayed payment - liquor shops - whether the appellants-writ petitioners were willing to pay the license fee for the period from 01.04.2017 to 30.06.2017 as, in such an event, they would stand on par with the other licensees of the four undisposed A-4 retail outlets who were granted licenses from 01.04.2017 and, at the same time, no loss would be caused to the public exchequer - Held that: - the appellants-writ petitioners, on instructions, would request this Court to decide the Writ Appeal on its merits, and express the appellants-writ petitioners unwillingness to pay the license fees for the three month period from 01.04.2017 to 30.06.2017, as they did not carry on business in these two shops, during the said period. As that would amount to the petitioners retaining control over two A-4 retail outlets simultaneously, and would result in the State Government being deprived of its revenue which they would have otherwise received on granting licenses for these two shops from 01.04.2017 i.e for three months between 01.04.2017 to 30.06.2017, we see no reason to grant the petitioners the relief sought for in the Writ Petition. We see no justification in permitting the petitioners to retain their right over these two A-4 retail shops from 01.04.2017, and in paying license fees three months thereafter i.e., only from 01.07.2017 onwards, as that would result in loss of revenue, to the public exchequer, for the period 01.04.2017 to 30.06.2017 - petition dismissed - decided against petitioner.
