ORDER

¶12

The petitioner is the licensee of the respondent with respect to a Kiosk. The period of license for five years starting from 16.03.2009 to 15.03.2014. It appears that the petitioner could not run the Kiosk, as according to it, the respondent has asked the petitioner to shift the Kiosk due to administrative reasons. Therefore, the petitioner has come forward with this Writ Petition, seeking extension for sixteen months. At the time of entertaining the Writ Petition, there was an interim order granted, which still continues.

¶13

Notwithstanding the maintainability of the Writ Petition questioning the issue pertaining to the license, the period itself is over including sixteen months sought for by the petitioner. Law is quite settled that there cannot be any interim order for a period beyond the relief sought for by the petitioner.

¶14

The learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submitted that taking into consideration the fact that there are number of employees engaged, further period of two months may be granted to handover vacant possession.

¶15

The said submission is objected by the learned counsel for the respondent.

¶16

Considering the facts and circumstances, while disposing of the Writ Petition, the petitioner is given further period of four weeks from the date of receipt of copy of this order to vacate and handover the vacant possession of the Kiosk to the respondent.

¶17

The writ petition is disposed of with the above direction. No costs. Consequently, connected miscellaneous petitions are closed.
