Petitioners are whole sale ration dealers. In Ext.P2 the Government have stated that certain actions taken in relation to attaching some of the ARDs to certain shops are on a temporary basis and have also stated reasons for such decision. Under such circumstances, I do not find any ground to interfere with the impugned Ext.P2, and also do not find any ground to issue any direction to the respondents to consider Ext.P3, placed before the Minister. This writ petition fails and the same is therefore dismissed. THOTTATHIL B. RADHAKRISHNAN, JUDGE. sj /TRUE COPY/ P.A.TO JUDGE W.P.(C). No.3869 Of 2007 2
