RESPONDENT'S EXHIBITS: N I L /TRUE COPY/ P.S.TO JUDGE Kss ANTONY DOMINIC, J. ---------------------------------------------------- W.P.(C) No. 24449 OF 2011 ----------------------------------------------------- Dated this the 13th day of October, 2011 J U D G M E N T The prayer sought in this writ petition is for a direction to the respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P1, a complaint made by the petitioner to the first respondent seeking action against the 2nd respondent on the ground that they are carrying out their business in violation of the provisions of the Money Lenders Act, 1958. However, despite having gone through the provisions of the Act, I do not see any power conferred on the 1st respondent to deal with the matter as sought in the writ petition. Therefore I close this writ petition leaving it open to the petitioner to seek the statutory remedies that are available. Sd/- ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE ul/- [true copy] P.S. to Judge
