DATE : 21st February 2006. P.C. . Petitioner is operating a Kerosene licence in Ganesh Nagar area.

In any event, the complaint is that the respondent No.3 has deliberately 2 sought shifting of her licence/ permit to Ganesh Nagar so that the units available in Ganesh Nagar can be snatched by her. 2. It is not necessary to scrutinise the validity of the permission granted in the light of the statements of the Assistant Foodgrain Distribution Officer in the affidavit in reply. However, considering that petitioner has termed the acts of respondent No.3 in shifting to Ganesh Nagar by mis-representing the authorities and on the basis of documents which are not genuine, it would be open for petitioner to move authorities and the authorities shall take cognisance of the said request and take appropriate action against respondent No.3 in accordance with law if the petitioner substantiates the allegations.
