THOTTATHIL B.RADHAKRISHNAN, J. ------------------------------------------- W.P(C).No.18393 OF 2009 ------------------------------------------- Dated this the 1st day of July, 2009 JUDGMENT The petitioner applied for D&O licence. After hearing the objections in that regard, the competent authority has refused to issue the licence stating certain reasons based on factual disputes. It is inappropriate for this Court to embark on a judicial review of such a matter, particularly when the petitioner has adequate alternate statutory remedy by way of appeal before the competent authority. Without prejudice to that course, this writ petition is dismissed, leaving open all questions on merits. Sd/- THOTTATHIL B.RADHAKRISHNAN, Judge. kkb.2/7.
