Petitioner who claims to have applied for grant of a licence to run an authorised ration depot in response to Ext.P1 Notice, prays that the authority concerned may be directed to afford her an opportunity to be heard while processing the applications. To a specific query as to which statutory provision under the Kerala Rationing Order gives her a right to be heard, there is no answer from the learned Counsel. Having perused the materials available on record, we are not satisfied that a writ of mandamus as prayed for can be issued. In our view, the Writ Petition is totally misconceived. Therefore it is dismissed. S.R. Bannurmath, Chief Justice. A.K. Basheer, Judge. ttb WP(C) No.25773 of 2009 -:2:-
