W.P.(C)No.22158 of 2024 --------------------------------------------

Dated this the 21^st day of June, 2024

JUDGMENT

The petitioner claims right to be appointed as licensee for Fair Price Shop on the averment that the petitioner is working as a salesman. The petitioner's application was rejected and statutory appeal was also dismissed. The petitioner has preferred Ext.P10 revision before the 1^st respondent and seeks early disposal of the same.

In view of the limited prayer made, this writ petition is disposed of directing Ext.P10 revision to be considered and disposed of by the 1^st respondent after hearing the petitioner, at the earliest, at any rate, within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
