On 30.6.2009, the Rationing Inspector inspected the petitioner's shop and he also issued a direction to the effect that the card holders of ARD No.96, shall from 1.7.2009 procure their ration articles from the said shop in the wake of an order dated 12.6.2008 by the District Supply Officer, Alappuzha, revoking the suspension of ARD No.96. According to the petitioner, he purchased articles for his ration shop as also for the card holders originally attached to ARD No.96 even thereafter.
