Later that interim order was vacated. Therefore, if any among the petitioners herein had applied for allotment of toddy shops and if his application was not considered for priority merely on account of the interim order that then governed the field, the Excise Commissioner will consider any representation by such person before confirmation of allotment of any shop. These writ petitions are ordered accordingly, leaving open all other issues. THOTTATHIL B RADHAKRISHNAN, JUDGE lgk/29/6
