P1 application was filed by the petitioner for conversion of a counter with a store room as per the plan attached with the application. The same was rejected as per Ext.P2.

It is also submitted that in the case of several similarly situated persons such permission has been granted. Thus, it is prayed that the petitioner may be permitted to approach the Government for fresh consideration of the matter. In the event of the petitioner approaching the Government, the representation will be duly considered by the Government with notice to the petitioner and appropriate orders in accordance with law will be passed expeditiously. The writ petition is disposed of accordingly. KURIAN JOSEPH, JUDGE. rv
