Since it is clear that as on today the authorization of the petitioner is subsisting, the respondents are bound to release the essential commodities to the petitioner. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the respondents to release the essential commodities to the petitioner for supply to the cardholders, as long as the petitioner’s authorization is subsisting.
