This writ petition has been filed, seeking to quash the impugned order dated 14.01.2016 passed in Na.Ka.No.A1/947/15, by which, the petitioner was directed to pay the enhanced rent of Rs.25,000/- even during the existing license period between 01.10.2014 to 30.09.2017, by granting slight concession to continue to pay the old rent upto October, 2016. The petitioner also sought a direction to the 2nd Respondent to adhere to the earlier license in Na.Ka.No.978/2014.A1 dated 28.10.2014 and permit the petitioner to pay the revised rent of Rs.4755/- till 30.09.2017 as per the order dated 28.10.2014.
2. Heard the learned counsel for the parties.
3. When the matter was taken up for hearing, learned counsel for the 2nd respondent has fairly submitted that the impugned order dated 14.01.2016 may be set aside with liberty to the 2nd respondent to issue a fresh auction notice, after expiry of the present license period.
4. In view of the fairness shown by the 2nd respondent, this petition is allowed and the impugned order dated 14.01.2016 is set aside. However, it is made clear that if at all, the 2nd respondent wants to go for a fresh auction, it should be only after the current license period is over, i.e., 30.09.2017. No costs. Consequently, connected miscellaneous petition is closed.
