WP 249 of 2024

The Commissioner of Excise /respondent No.5 in its order dated 25/11/2021 directed the petitioner as well as respondent Nos.1 to 4 to produce the latest NOC from the owner of the property in question so as to decide the application for grant of license.

¶20

Ms. Kamat appearing for respondent No.5 submits that if fresh NOC is obtained and produced before the concerned authorities, a decision will be taken on the application filed by the petitioner as well as respondent Nos.1 to 4 afresh, within a period of 15 days from today.

¶21

The petitioner is permitted to place the NOC before respondent No.5 along with a fresh application for this year's license. Mr. Agni submits that the petitioner has already applied for auction for this year. Such application filed by the petitioner could be considered by respondent No.5 along with NOC issued by the Communidade.

¶22

It is now submitted by Mr. Parsekar that respondent Nos.1 to 4 would apply for NOC from the Communidade for this year. It shows that till date respondent No.1 to 4 have failed to apply for grant of NOC from the Communidade.

¶23

It further shows that respondent Nos.1 to 4 are now trying to apply for a license as well as for a grant of NOC. It would delay the entire process of granting of license since the cashew season of this year is about to conclude. Accordingly, respondent No.5 is directed to
