RADHAKRISHNAN, J ........................................... WP(C).NO. 22044 OF 2009 ............................................ DATED THIS THE 4TH DAY OF AUGUST, 2009 JUDGMENT The petitioner points out that the site of operation of a proposed toddy shop would be within the objectionable distance from certain land marks. It appears that there is a mass representation pending in the form of Ext.P3. But that is before the Minister of Excise and not before the statutory authority, viz, Commissioner of Excise. Hence, without expressing anything on merits, it is ordered that if the petitioner makes appropriate representation before the Commissioner of Excise, such complaint would gain attention of that office without any delay.
