Bar owner rebuked

By S A Ishaqui
Hyderabad, August 1 : An owner of a bar and restaurant who knocked the doors of the AP High Court against alleged interference of police in his business was rebuked.

Justice Goda Raghuram on Friday while dealing with a petition filed by G.V. Dheeraj Reddy, owner of Himayala Restaurant & Bar at Kamalapuri Colony in Hyderabad, directed that the bar should be closed immediately as it did not have a valid police licence.

The judge observed that there was apparently no proper co-ordination between the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation, the excise department and the police regarding granting permission to business establishment.
The court wondered how the GHMC could grant trade licence to the establishment when it did not have parking space. The court was satisfied with the city police’s action of rejecting licence to the bar as it did not have parking space.

Additional commissioner of police (traffic), Mr V.S.K. Koumudi appeared before the court on Friday pursuant to notice issued by it with regard to police interference.
