Kayani closure?

"My mother has been going to Kayani Bakery since she was nine years old... it’s no wonder then that I did too,” wrote Poona based food blogger Kainaz Writer Bokdawala to Parsiana on October 22, 2017. "From the time of the jovial Noshir Kayani to the ever-kind Paula Kayani of the present generation, the Bakery has served sheer awesomeness in terms of bakery products to Poona. It’s a big part of Poona’s heritage,” she said. Writer Bokdawala was responding to Parsiana’s requests for comments on the iconic Bakery, which has shut shop since October 13. The makers of the much-loved Shrewsbury biscuits, besides many types of cakes, breads and biscuits, Kayani received an oral notice from the city’s Cantonment Board (PCB), "as they do not own any valid shop license since 2006,” reported the Pune Mirror of October 17.
Established in 1955 by Hormuz and Khodayar Irani, the Bakery is a must-visit spot for both residents of the city and visitors. The notice to the owners of Kayani, and two other outlets in the area, Kwality and Baghban restaurants, came as a result of an inspection by the sub-area commander and PCB president Brig Rajiv Sethi. The Times of India (TOI) of October 12 had reported that according to PCB executive officer D. N. Yadav, "the establishments... have been running their businesses illegally as we have not issued them trade licences since 2006. The board president has ordered them to close down for violating the lease agreement.”
"The Bakery has been applying for renewal of its license since 2006, but the PCB has not responded,” their lawyer Dara Irani told TOI on October 14. Speaking to Parsiana on November 6, Irani clarified that the Bakery had applied for its license (required under section 277 of the Cantonments Act) for the financial year 2017 -18 well ahead of time, in February 2017. "The authorities need to know that with every power (to grant licenses) is a corresponding duty (to revert with information on whether it is granted or not),” he states. The owners have decided to down its shutters as they did not want any "commotion to affect their neighbors,” he said, adding that they have sought a civil injunction against the oral notice.
Writer Bokdawala whose family ran a spice business in Poona’s cantonment area states that "in the early 1990s we constantly faced license-issuing hassles with the PCB; to the extent that we finally got fed up and closed shop a few years later… In spite of constant requests and yearly applications to the PCB, we would be issued licenses after a lot of struggle. I hope the PCB… realizes the folly of its ways.”
An online petition to save the Bakery by Krishna Kamath, who describes himself as "a loyalist to the Bakery,” has nearly 6,100 supporters and wonders why the closure is taking place 11 years after the license allegedly expired. "Why not settle the matter amicably rather than closing down such an iconic joint?” questions the petition.
