JUDGMENT The petitioner states that he was a licensee for three years continuously from 2008, however that, he could not get the licence in the bid in 2008 along with the fifth respondent and that the fifth respondent is given preference certificate. Admittedly, the petitioner was not conducting the shop in 2008-09 and therefore, it would not be proper to direct issuance of preference certificate. The writ petition fails. The same is accordingly dismissed. THOTTATHIL B. RADHAKRISHNAN, JUDGE. Sha/170609
