The renewal of business license negated further intervention by the court, allowing the petitioner recourse for future grievances.

JUDGMENT

The above Writ Petition (C) is filed with the following prayers:

"(i) call for the records leading to the passing of Ext.P5 by the respondent Municipality and quash the same by the issue of a writ of certiorari or other appropriate writ, order or direction;

(ii) call for the records leading to the passing of Ext.P8 order by the Tribunal for Local Self Government Institutions, Thiruvananthapuram and set aside the same;

(iii) issue a writ in the nature of mandamus directing the respondent Municipality not to interfere with the functioning of the petitioner's shop which is his only source of livelihood;

(iv) issue a writ in the nature of mandamus directing the respondent Municipality to take appropriate steps to regularize the so called unauthorized construction after receiving the prescribed compounding fee from the petitioner; and (v) issue such other writ, order or direction as this honourable court deems fit and proper in the circumstances of the case."

[SIC]

2. When this Writ Petition came up for consideration, the counsel appearing for the petitioner submitted that the Municipality has renewed the license and that the shop is presently functioning, and hence, no further direction is necessary. The counsel also submitted that, if there is any fresh cause of action, the petitioner may be allowed to challenge the same in accordance with the law. I think that liberty can be granted to the petitioner.

Accordingly, the Writ Petition is closed. If there is any fresh cause of action, the petitioner is free to challenge the same in accordance with the law.
