J U D G M E N T Petitioner approached this court aggrieved by Exts.P2 and P4 orders in the matter of delinking of ARDs from Kozhencherry. It is seen from the counter affidavit that such delinking is based on the Government Order dated 29.1.1993 and that the same is made in public interest and administrative convenience. It is also seen that the issue was subject matter of various other litigations between licensees. Still further, it is seen from the revisional order passed by the Government that all the contentions have been meticulously considered by the Government while passing the impugned order. Therefore, there is no merit in the writ petition. It is accordingly dismissed.
