RADHAKRISHNAN, J. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - W.P.(C)NO.9097 OF 2007 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Dated this the 19th day of March 2007 JUDGMENT This is a matter arising under the Kerala Rationing Order. Whatever be the reasons for the dismissal of the appeal by the District Collector, it is appropriate that the petitioner to approach the Civil Supplies Commissioner because the Rationing Officer provides him adequate reliefs. In the realm of rationing, I do not deem it necessary for this Court to now step in, on the facts and circumstances of the cases. Hence, without prejudice, closed. THOTTATHIL B. RADHAKRISHNAN, JUDGE jes
