                              J U D G M E N T

This writ petition is filed with the following prayers:

i) Issue a writ of mandamus or order or direction

directing the 7th respondent to formulate a policy for the

survival of existing retail outlets which were awarded

under SC/ST quota due to the liberal policy of starting

new outlets.

ii) Issue a writ of mandamus or order or direction

directing the respondents 1 to 6 not to award or notify

new outlets in the locations in which SC/ST dealership is

running to avoid competition of SC/ST dealers with the

general category.

2. Since the petitioner has sought for a writ of mandamus,

it is for the petitioner to first approach the competent authority.

This writ petition is disposed of as above.

KURIAN JOSEPH, JUDGE.
