Writ Appeal No.467 of 2011 .................................................................... Dated this the 15th day of June, 2011. JUDGMENT Ramachandran Nair, J. Appeal is filed against judgment of the learned Single Judge declining to interfere with the notification issued inviting application for appointment of a Retail Ration Dealer in the place of appellant whose licence was cancelled on account of irregularities committed. Even though counsel submitted that writ petitioner was not heard properly, we do not find any merit in the arguments because during inspection major irregularities were noticed which are in the nature of shortage of stock, retaining stock unfit for human consumption etc. The original, appellate and revisional authorities have concurrently found that irregularities did exist at the time of inspection. Consequently the learned Single Judge declined to interfere in the matter. We do not think we can take a different view especially when 2 ration shops are run for the benefit of people in the lowest strata of the society. Writ Appeal lacks any merit and is dismissed.
