JUDGMENT The petitioner claims that respondents 5 to 7 have misused their participation as sureties for a licence issued to the petitioner in 2000 and have obtained preference in abkari auction for the year 2008-2009. However, the petitioner has no case that he had conducted any toddy shop during the abkari year 2007-2008. This means that the petitioner has no preference for the abkari year 2008-2009. There is, therefore, no purpose in entertaining this writ petition. Hence, the same is dismissed in limine. THOTTATHIL B. RADHAKRISHNAN, JUDGE. Sha/090408
