JUDGMENT Petitioner was the licensee of the non-vegetarian refreshment room in the Tirur Railway Station. Some time in 2004, he made Ext.P2 representation seeking extension of the licence on the contention that he had made investments therein. That, obviously, did not get any favourable response from the Railway Authorities. He did not, however, remove his belongings from the premises. This has resulted in Ext.P9 ultimately, whereby the Railway has decided to dispossess all such belongings by public auction. That auction is listed on 13-3-2007. 2. In the very peculiar facts and circumstances, it is directed that unless the petitioner removes all his articles on or before 12-3-2007 with the sanction of the Senior WP(C)7772/07 -: 2 :- Divisional Commercial Manager, Palakkad, the Railway will be at liberty to proceed with Ext.P9. If the petitioner has any other grievance giving him a cause of action for compensation or damages, it is clarified that this judgment does not stand in the way of the petitioner seeking remedy in appropriate court in accordance with law and untrammelled by anything stated herein above. The writ petition is disposed of in the above terms. THOTTATHIL B. RADHAKRISHNAN, JUDGE. Sha/-
