J U D G M E N T

Shaffique, J Appellant is the petitioner in W.P.C.No.25854 of 2014 who challenges the judgment dated 08/10/2014 by which the writ petition has been dismissed. The writ petition was filed challenging Ext.P4 order passed by the District Supply Officer by which the request of the petitioner for temporary licence to conduct the whole sale ration depot No.T.15 has been rejected. Petitioner claimed that since he was the salesman in the wholesale depot when the licence has been suspended, he should be permitted to conduct the wholesale depot on a temporary basis.

2.

The learned Single Judge dismissed the writ petition on the ground that the petitioner has no legal right to make such a demand as the conduct of the wholesale depot has to be made after inviting notice from the public.

3.

Though the learned counsel for the appellant submits that he is having a legal right to make such a demand, no material has been produced before this Court to indicate that the petitioner is entitled to seek temporary grant of licence from the competent authority.

We do not find any error in the judgment of the learned Single Judge and hence the writ appeal is dismissed. (sd/-) (ASHOK BHUSHAN, CHIEF JUSTICE) (sd/-) (A.M.SHAFFIQUE, JUDGE) jsr/26/09/2015
