The only prayer of the petitioner is for consideration of a representation dated 22.02.2022 in relation to an application for Foreign Liquor On Shop. The documents indicate that the enquiry was completed by the Superintendent of Excise on 04.12.2013 followed by a direction on the Collector of Excise to send a report on the construction which was completed by the petitioner as per the blue print. Learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submits that nothing was done thereafter and the petitioner was hence constrained to make the representation in February, 2022. The reasons for the delay in filing the writ petition has been explained in paragraph 5 of the writ petition.
