DATED THIS THE 8th DAY OF FEBRUARY 2008 JUDGMENT The prayer in this writ petition is to direct the 4th respondent to take decision on Ext.P2. Ext.P2 is a communication from the first respondent Panchayath requesting the 2nd respondent to open a Maveli store at the location indicated therein. According to the petitioner, further action on Ext.P2 was not taken and hence this writ petition has been filed. 2. The second respondent has filed a statement. According to the 2nd respondent, in terms of Exts.R2(1) and R2(2), a new Maveli store could not be opened within the area of the first respondent Panchayath as suggested in Ext.P2. It is stated that it is not an area with sufficient business potential. 3. If for a commercial considerations, the 2nd respondent has decided not to pursue the matter in Ext.P2, this Court will not be justified in interfering with such a decision and compel WPC. 1568/2008 -2- the respondents to open the store. I am not inclined to grant the relief sought for. The writ petition is dismissed. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE ks. K.R.UDAYABHANU,J. =================== CRL.A.NO.
