WP(C).NO. 17087 OF 2009 ............................................ DATED THIS THE 22ND DAY OF JUNE, 2009 JUDGMENT This writ petition is signed and filed by K.M.Jose on behalf of the petitioner, M.M.Mani, stating that M.M.Mani, along with others were allottees of a group of toddy shops, however that for renewal, Mani is unable to accompany the other co-licensees at the time of sale in view of certain spinal injuries. The relief sought for is that K.M.Jose be permitted to represent M.M.Mani in the sale along with the other co-licensees. It is held in WP(C) 16617 of 2009 that Rule 5(4) of Kerala Abkari Shops and Disposal Rules, 2002 provides specifically for the appearance of the person applying for the license and such Rule does not admit even for a power of attorney holder representing such person. In view of that judgment, this writ petition fails and the same is accordingly dismissed. THOTTATHIL B RADHAKRISHNAN, JUDGE lgk/23/6
