P (C) No. 37574 of 2008 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Dated this, the 18th December, 2008. J U D G M E N T The respondent invited applications for award of LPG distributorship of the respondent. The petitioner applied for the same. However, her application has been rejected on the ground that the affidavit accompanying the application is not as per format. Ext. P1 is the intimation issued to the petitioner in this regard. The petitioner is challenging Ext. P1. According to the petitioner, the defect is a minor defect which could easily be rectified. Although the petitioner approached the respondent for allowing her to cure the defect, the respondent did not respond. It is under the above circumstances the petitioner has filed this writ petition challenging Ext. P1. 2. I have heard the learned standing counsel for the respondent also. 3. The petitioner herself admits that there is a defect in the application. The petitioner very well knew how the application should have been filed. Because of her negligence, the defect has occurred. There is no obligation cast on the respondent to allow any candidate to cure the defect. Therefore, as of right, the petitioner cannot seek permission to cure the defect. Hence, I do not find any merit in the writ petition and accordingly the same is dismissed. Sd/- S. Siri Jagan, Judge. Tds/ [True copy] P.S to Judge.
