    Summary The High Court of Uttarakhand dismissed the writ petition filed by Jishant Kumar, who challenged the establishment of a new liquor shop 3.50 km from his existing shop. The court held that since the District Magistrate had already passed a decision on the petitioner's application after hearing him, the proper remedy is to file an appeal under Section 11(1) of the U.P. Excise Act, 1910, rather than pursue a writ petition. The court directed the competent authority to decide any appeal within six weeks.
