ORDER

Counsel for the petitioners is called absent, no intimation is received.

2.On the last date of hearing also no one was in attendance on behalf of the petitioners and the matter was adjourned in the interest of justice. Learned A.A.G.

present in Court submits that instant petitions are misconceived and not maintainable for the reasons that cancellation order passed by concerned Deputy Commissioner has not been challenged, whereas, the petitioners seeking directions for issuance of necessary

permission to hold Bachat Bazar, which request can be examined by the relevant authorities subject to law and fulfillment of conditions in this regard.

3.It is further contended that for the permission to hold such Bachat Bazar has already been expired, therefore, instant petitions, otherwise, have become infructuous. Learned counsel A.A.G. has placed on record the Judgment reported in 2004 MLD 353 (Faisal Riaz......v/s......Abdul Wahab & others), wherein it has been held that after termination of the license a licensee cannot claim renewal as a matter of right. It appears that in view factual and legal position the petitioners are not coming forward to pursue their petitions. Both petitions are dismissed along with pending applications.
