BY ITS SECRETARY. THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 25/09/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: THOTTATHIL B.RADHAKRISHNAN, J. ------------------------------------------- W.P(C).No.27163 OF 2009 ------------------------------------------- Dated this the 25th day of September, 2009 JUDGMENT The petitioner is aggrieved by Exts.P5 and P7. Admittedly, the petitioner does not have any licence in his name. He projects Ext.P1, a licence for retail vending in meat, given to one Junaid, who is stated to be his near relative. It is stated that the said licence is in relation to the same shop. But that licence was issued for the period ending 31.3.2004. As of now, there is no material for this Court to conclude that the petitioner has any licence. Though the learned counsel for the petitioner states that his client has filed an application for licence and it is pending, I am clear in my mind that there can be no slaughtering in a premises, in relation to which, no licence for slaughtering is given. This is essentially the basis of the impugned action. I do not find any ground for this Court to interfere. I would rather leave the petitioner to seek relief from the competent statutory authorities. This writ petition is, hence, WPC.27163/09 Page numbers dismissed without prejudice to the petitioner's right to prosecute his objections or seek statutory remedies against the impugned directions.
