COMMON ORDER:

Except in W.P.Nos.20357 and 25403 of 2011, G.O.Ms. No.110 Home (General-A) Department dated 19.2.2009 is under challenge in all the other Writ Petitions which form part of this batch. While the relief sought for in W.P. No.20357 of 2011 is to declare the action of the respondents in not considering the petitioner’s request for grant of an on-line licence, and in preventing them from conducting their business as an on-line agency, as arbitrary and illegal; the relief sought for in W.P. No.25403 of 2011 is to declare the action of the respondents in interfering with the business carried on by the petitioner in conducting on-line booking through e-ticketing system of tickets in respect of theatres within the State of Andhra Pradesh, and in insisting on a separate licence, as arbitrary and illegal. However both Sri S.Niranjan Reddy, Learned Counsel for the petitioner in W.P. No.20357 of 2011, and Sri P.Sriraghuram, Learned Counsel for the petitioner in W.P. No.25403 of 2011, would submit that it would be suffice for disposal of these two Writ Petitions also if this Court were to restrict its examination to the validity of G.O.Ms. No.110 dated 19.2.2009.
