No.32707 of 2002 .................................................................... Dated this the 29th day of July, 2009. JUDGMENT The petitioner is challenging the selection of 5th respondent as a stamp vendor in preference to her. However, I notice that the matter was considered by the appellate and revisional authority and in remanded proceedings also the licensing authority upheld the claim of the 5th respondent as he had the required qualification. The 5th respondent is continuing as Stamp Vendor eversince his appointment 12 years back. In the circumstances, I do not find any ground to interfere with the appointment of the 5th respondent made 12 years back. The O.P. is accordingly dismissed. C.N.RAMACHANDRAN NAIR Judge pms
