TO JUDGE Rp ANTONY DOMINIC, J. ================ W.P.(C) NO. 27217 OF 2011 ===================== Dated this the 29th day of November, 2011 J U D G M E N T Petitioners are licencees of ARD Nos.314 and 315 of Ward No.X of Ottoor Village in Chirayankeezhu Taluk. They approached this court complaining that a third shop is proposed to be established within the same ward, and that, if such a shop is established, that will adversely affect them in as much as it will result in reduction of the number of cards. 2. Learned Government Pleader has obtained instructions in the matter. According to the learned Government Pleader, proposal for establishment of the shop was initially made by the District Collector in a report submitted to the Commissioner for Civil Supplies. It is stated that going by the report and the order passed by the Commissioner, even if a third shop is established, that will not result in any relinking from the shops, which are run by the petitioners. 3. From the submissions thus made by the learned Government Pleader, it is obvious that even if the third shop is established, it will not affect the petitioners' shops and hence, I WPC No.27217/11 :2 : see no reason why the petitioners should have any grievance in the matter. Writ petition is dismissed. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE Rp
