2017 (1) TMI 190 - HC - Indian LawsRenewal of Indian Made Foreign Liquor/Foreign Liquor Bar License rejected - non production of lease deed from the owner of the premises - Held that:- n view of the fact that there were two lease agreements submitted to the competent authority, which are having different clauses regarding their continuation of renewal, all the more necessary for the competent authority to insist on production of original lease agreement and the petitioner cannot refuse to produce the documents as required by the respondent authorities for renewal of the application. Since the petitioner did not produce relevant documents, I do not see any error in rejecting the application for renewal. However, since learned Government Pleader for Prohibition and Excise fairly submits that the competent authority would consider the application submitted by the petitioner for renewal even now, if all the relevant documents are submitted by him, while upholding the decision as impugned in the Writ Petition, the petitioner is permitted to submit all the relevant documents as desired by the competent authority in the impugned proceedings and if such documents are submitted, the competent authority shall consider the application of the petitioner for renewal and take appropriate decision. Having regard to the rival claims and two different lease agreements are available with the competent authority, in the interests of justice, it is also necessary to grant an opportunity of hearing to the petitioner as well as owner of the property, before the competent authority arises at a conclusion regarding renewal or otherwise of the lease granted in favour of the petitioner. As and when the relevant documents are submitted by the petitioner, the competent authority shall fix a date for personal hearing of the petitioner as well as the owner of the premises by an advance notice, and in consideration of the respective submissions, decision be taken and communicated to the petitioner with reference to his renewal application within a period of two weeks from the date of submission of documents by the petitioner.
