The petitioner preferred Ext.P9 appeal before the 2nd respondent along with Ext.P9(a) stay application. The petitioner alleges that the same has not been accepted by the 2nd respondent on the ground that no appeal lies. 2. I have heard the learned counsel for the petitioner as also the learned Government Pleader. 3. It is not disputed before me that Clause 45(10) of the Kerala Rationing Order provides for an appeal in the case of suspension of licence also. In the above circumstances this writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the 2nd respondent to accept Exts.P9 and P9(a), and pass appropriate orders thereon, in accordance with law, as expeditiously w.p.c.15700/07 2 as possible. Petitioner's application for interim order shall be considered and appropriate orders passed within two weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. sdk+ S.SIRI JAGAN, JUDGE
