PROMOD THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 09/04/2007, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: S. SIRI JAGAN, J. ----------------------------------- W.P.(C)NO. 11922 OF 2007 --------------------------------------- DATED THIS THE 9th DAY OF APRIL, 2007 JUDGMENT The petitioner is an applicant for an Authorised Retial Distributorship of rationed articles. The petitioner apprehends that her application may not be considered in view of the fact that the petitioner is not ordinarily resident in the locality for which applications have been invited. I am of opinion that I cannot foreclose the power of the respondents to consider the applications received pursuant to notification inviting applications for distributorship in accordance with law by putting fetters on their powers by directing consideration of the petitioner's representation in this regard in advance. It is of the petitioner to seek her appellate remedies if her application is either rejected or the petitioner is not selected. Without prejudice to such rights, this writ petition is dismissed. S. SIRI JAGAN, JUDGE Acd
