According to the petitioner, public objection is not a ground for rejecting application for shifting toddy shop. 2. I am unable to accept this contention because if the toddy shop is shifted overruling public protest, the same may lead law and order problem. Therefore, there is no justification for interference by this court in this matter. Writ petition is dismissed. C.N.RAMACHANDRAN NAIR, JUDGE jes
