ORDER
Date : 28.09.2026
Heard Ms. S. Singh, the learned counsel appearing on behalf of the Petitioners and Mr. S. S. Roy, the learned CGC appearing on behalf of all the Respondents.
2. The present writ petition has been filed by the Petitioners seeking directions upon the Respondents to consider their representations dated 02.07.2024, 22.07.2024 and 17.09.2026 on the ground that the Petitioners herein are entitled for renewal of their licenses in view of the judgment of the Supreme Court dated 29.01.2016 in Civil Appeal No. 618-620 of 2016.
3. This Court has duly perused the materials on record and it is shocking and surprising to take note of that the various judgments passed by this Court, the judgment of the learned Division Bench as well as the order passed by the Supreme Court thereby affirming the judgment and order passed by this Court as well as the order of the learned Division Bench of this Court dated 13.03.2023 passed in Writ Appeal No. 47/2023 and Writ Appeal No. 54/2023 have not been brought to the notice.
4. During the course of the hearing, Mr. S. S. Roy, the learned
CGC had submitted that the representations so submitted by the Petitioners have already been rejected on 25.09.2026 and in that regard, he has also placed the rejection order dated 25.09.2026 before this Court which is kept on record and marked with the letter “X”.
5. Considering the above, it is the opinion of this Court that the present proceedings is an abuse of the process of the Court. Further to that, no conceivable right has been shown which would permit the Petitioners to seek any extension of renewal of their licenses.
6. Accordingly, this Court does not find the present writ petition to be a fit case for issuance of notice for which the same stands dismissed.
