True copy tga ANTONY DOMINIC, J. ------------------------------------------- W.P.(C) No.29610 of 2007 ------------------------------------------- Dated this the 28th day of January, 2008 JUDGMENT The challenge in this writ petition is against the license for running a ration shop, granted to the 4th respondent. The second prayer in this writ petition is for a direction to the first respondent to dispose of Ext.P3 appeal filed by the petitioner against the license that is granted to the 4th respondent. Since the appeal is filed in terms of the provisions contained in the rationing order, I dispose of this writ petition directing that the first respondent shall take into consideration and pass orders on Ext.P3 appeal. This shall be done as expeditiously as possible, and with notice to the affected parties, at any rate within two months of a production of a copy of this judgment. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE csl
