GOVERNMENT PLEADER SMT.ANU SIVARAMAN THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 31/03/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: Thottathil B. Radhakrishnan, J. ================================== W.P.(C)No.10782 of 2008 ================================== Dated this the 31st day of March, 2008. JUDGMENT A reading of paragraph 3 of the writ petition would show that the petitioner did not provide the funds at the time of consideration of the application for sale of toddy shop for which the petitioner claims preference. Though he pleads that a close relative of him was asked to bring the demand draft who did not do so because he had become sick, the fact remains that Ext.P5 demand draft was made available only on the day following the allotment of the shop in question. Petitioner therefore does not have any right to claim for renewal. Writ petition fails. It is hence dismissed. Thottathil B.Radhakrishnan, Judge. sl. 1-4-2008
