It is not necessary to go into the allegation regarding her encroachment and misuse of the shop allotted in the name of the respondent. An application was filed on March 21, 1994 for renewal of the leave and licence, which is now found to be not signed by the respondent. A show cause notice was issued on 6.5.1994 to the respondent asking her to hand over vacant possession of the counter on 6.6.1994.
