P5 is an application filed by the petitioner seeking review of an order passed by the 1st respondent under the Kerala Rationing Order. Admittedly, the 1st respondent is not conferred any power of review. It is settled law that unless the statute confers the power of review, the authority does not have such an inherent power. In this case, admittedly there is no such power. 2. In view of this, the petitioner cannot seek a writ of mandamus for the disposal of Ext. P5 application for review. Writ petition fails and is dismissed. ANTONY DOMINIC JUDGE jan/-
