However, after the petitioner got married, he sought a separate family card and the same has not been considered by the respondents, forcing the petitioner to come up with the above Writ Petition. 5. The learned Additional Government Pleader submitted on instructions that if the petitioner obtains a deletion certificate from the previous Division where there was a card including his name, his request will be considered by the respondents. However, according to the petitioner, after the shifting of the family card from Sivaganga to Madurai North Zone, he was informed by the Taluk Supply Officer, Madurai North Zone that his card got cancelled, due to his failure to buy any material for a consecutive period of three months. Therefore, according to the petitioner, the card which earlier contained his name stands cancelled now. If the card which was originally issued to the family of the petitioner at Sivaganga and which later got shifted to Madurai North Zone, had been cancelled, the petitioner can ask for a certificate, regarding this fact. Alternatively, he must seek a deletion certificate. 6. Therefore, the Writ Petition is disposed of directing the third respondent either to give a certificate to the effect that the card of the petitioner had been cancelled or to issue a certificate of deletion, within a period of two weeks on receipt of the copy of this order. Along with certificate so issued by the third respondent, the petitioner shall approach the second respondent. Thereafter, the second respondent shall pass appropriate orders in accordance with law within a period of four weeks. Sd/- Assistant Registrar (AS) /True Copy/ Sub Assistant Registrar To 1.
