CJ. & P.S.GOPINATHAN, J ---------------------------------------------- W.A.No. 1117 of 2011 C.M.Appl.No.684 of 2011 ---------------------------------------------- Dated this the 3rd day of November, 2011 JUDGMENT Ramachandran Nair, Ag.CJ. The belated appeal is filed challenging the finding of the learned Single Judge that appellant is disqualified for applying for ARD licence to run the ration shop. After hearing counsel for the appellant and the Government Pleader and on going through the judgment of the learned Single Judge, what we notice is that all records produced by the appellant, including Solvency Certificate and experience certificate show that his address is different from the address claimed by him based on the certificate issued by the Panchayat Secretary. We are unable to accept the appellant's contention that the residential status is to be proved only with the certificate issued by the Panchayat Secretary. On the other hand, the address can WA.1117/11 2 be found out from authentic documents like Ration Card, Election Identity Card, Passport or Pan Card. The petitioner does not have any of these documents to prove his address as claimed. Consequently, the appeal lacks any merit. Therefore, the delay condonation petition and the Writ Appeal are dismissed. C.N.RAMACHANDRAN NAIR, ACTING CHIEF JUSTICE P.S.GOPINATHAN, JUDGE vgs
