ALEXANDER THOMAS THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 08/01/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC,J. ----------------------- W.P.(C).No.725 OF 2009 ------------------------ Dated this the 8th day of January, 2009. JUDGMENT Petitioner states that since the State is bound to impose prohibition, the Beverages Corporation should not make appointments to the vacancies notified by Ext.P1. Though I have no reason to doubt the bona fides of the petitioner, the fact remains that, there are vacancies in the Beverages Corporation and they have to carry on their business. For that purpose, if they require to fill up the vacancies, this court will not be justified in interfering with such an action. Writ Petition fails and is dismissed. (ANTONY DOMINIC) JUDGE vi/
