Petitioner is a licensee of ARD No. 3 in

Vallurkavu in Mananthavadi Taluk. By Ext. P1 the

respondents invited applications for appointment of an

additional ARD and that is objected by the petitioner

by filing Ext. P2. The relief sought for is that the

respondents should be called upon to decide on the

objection raised by the petitioner.

2. Being a licensee of ARD in an area, Ext. P2 has

been filed by him for safeguarding his commercial

interest and nothing else. It is for the respondents

to consider the requirement of an additional ARD and

that cannot be objected by the petitioner. Since the

petitioner has no locus standi to raise any objection,

I do not see any merit in the writ petition. Writ

petition is dismissed.
