KURIAN JOSEPH, J. ---------------------------------------------- W.P.(C) No.24107 of 2004 ---------------------------------------------- Dated 11th July, 2008. J U D G M E N T Petitioner is essentially aggrieved by Ext.P4 notice issued by the Taluk Supply Officer. The issue pertains to the differential cost consequent on the revision of issue price of rationed articles. Since the impugned action is only at the level of the Taluk Supply Officer, in case the petitioner has still any grievance left, the petitioner may approach the second respondent, in which case, the matter will be duly considered by the said authority with notice to the petitioner and the 6th respondent, and appropriate action in accordance with law will be taken, within another four months. The writ petition is disposed of as above.
