¶27

The reason for non-renewal of FL2 license is, on account of the fact that, the petitioner is in huge arrears of rent, payable towards the property, in which, the petitioner's Club is situated. This demand made by the Revenue Officials has been challenged by the petitioner, in W.P.No.26764 of 2017, and in the said Writ Petition, it appears that, a conditional order was passed, directing the petitioner to pay a sum of Rupees Two Crore.

¶28

The learned Senior Counsel for the petitioner would submit that, the petitioner is taking steps to seek for modification of the said order. In any event, unless and until, the issue relating to the alleged rent is cleared, no direction could be issued to the first respondent/Commissioner of Prohibition and Excise, and renew the licence.

¶29

Accordingly, this Writ Petition is disposed of, giving liberty to the petitioner to renew his request before the first respondent, as and when, obtaining appropriate interim or final order in W.P.No.26764 of 2017. No costs. Consequently, connected Writ Miscellaneous Petition is closed.
