BY GOVERNMENT PLEADER SRI.P.N.SANTHOSH THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 19/06/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: V.GIRI, J. ---------------------------------------- W.P.(C).No.17014 of 2009 ---------------------------------------- Dated this the 19th day of June, 2009. JUDGMENT The petitioner, who owns a small boat, was granted a permit under the Kerosene Control Order, as evidenced by Ext.P2. Permit was valid up to 31.12.2006. The petitioner sought for renewal of the permit and it seems that the petitioner was asked to attend the office of the 1st respondent on 6.4.2008. The petitioner could not attend the office on the said day. Therefore, on 10.4.2008 he went to the office of the 1st respondent and explained his difficulty for not having attended the office on 6.4.2008. A comprehensive representation has been made as per Ext.P4 on 18.5.2008. The permit is yet to be received. 2. Having perused Ext.P4 and the averments in the writ petition and having heard learned counsel for the petitioner as also the learned Government W.P.(C).No.17014 of 2009 :: 2 :: Pleader, I am of the view that the petitioner's request as contained in Ext.P4 merits consideration. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of directing the 1st respondent to consider Ext.P4 and if the difficulties pointed out by the petitioner are correct, then steps may be taken to renew the permit, in accordance with law. Needful shall be done within one month from today. Sd/- (V.GIRI) JUDGE sk/ //true copy// P.S. to Judge
