BY ADV. SRI.PHILIP T.VARGHESE SRI.THOMAS T.VARGHESE RESPONDENTS: ------------- 1. DISTRICT COLLECTOR, THRISSUR. 2. TALUK SUPPLY OFFICER, KODUNGALLOOR. BY GOVT. PLEADER SHRI.I.V.PRAMOD THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 28/08/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: S.SIRI JAGAN, J. ================== W.P.(C).No.26003 of 2008 ================== Dated this the 28th day of August, 2008 J U D G M E N T The petitioner is an applicant for an AWD. In respect of the report forwarded by the Taluk Supply Officer regarding the eligibility of the competing candidates, the petitioner has serious objections. Raising these objections, the petitioner has filed Exts.P5 and P6 representations. The petitioner seeks a direction to the 1st respondent to consider and pass orders on Exts.P5 and P6 before completion of the selection process. 2. I have heard the learned Government Pleader also. 3. The Kerala Rationing Order or the orders or circulars issued by the Government in this regard do not contemplate a consideration of a representation prior to the interview and hearing for selection. Therefore, I do not think that I would be justified in issuing a direction to the 1st respondent to consider Exts.P5 and P6 representations before the selection process. It would be open to the petitioner to convince the 1st respondent by appropriate evidence that the report of the Taluk Supply Officer w.p.c.26003/08 2 is in any way unsustainable. Therefore, leaving it open to the petitioner to convince the 1st respondent about the unsustainability of the report of the Taluk Supply Officer at the time of hearing of the competing applicants, this writ petition is closed.
