JUDGMENT The petitioner is the licence holder of stall No.9 of Pandalam Grama Panchayat wherein he is conducting the business of selling dried fish. The licence has been renewed for this year also as evidenced by Ext.P1. There is another open market wherein Shri Kamaludeen, the successful tenderer is doing business of vending fish. According to the petitioner, the said licensee is obstructing the running of business by the petitioner and in using the veranda of the petitioner's stall. Complaining about the same, the petitioner has filed Ext.P3 petition before the second respondent. It is pointed out that the Secretary of the Panchayat may be directed to consider his complaint and take appropriate decision in the matter. 2. It appears that this is a dispute between two licensees. Even though the petitioner has sought for a direction to cancel the licence issued to Shri Kamaludeen, it is only proper that the Secretary of the panchayat intervenes in the matter to settle the dispute between the parties amicably. 3. There will be a direction to the second respondent to consider Ext.P3 and take an appropriate decision within a period of one month from wpc 12777/2010 2 the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment, after notice to the petitioner and the said licensee, whose details are mentioned in para 2 of the writ petition. The writ petition is disposed of as above. No costs. The petitioner will produce a copy of this judgment along with a copy of the writ petition before the second respondent for compliance. (T.R. Ramachandran Nair, Judge.) kav/
