Dated, this the 22nd day of June, 2009
JUDGMENT
S.R.Bannurmath, C.J.
Aggrieved by the order of the learned Single Judge
dated 9th June, 2009, rejecting the prayer of the petitioner to quash
Ext.P6 and declare that the petitioner is entitled to have given
ARD licence No.48 of Nannambra Panchayat in Tirurangadi
Taluk, the present writ appeal is filed.
2. Admittedly, the spouse of the petitioner/appellant is
already holding an ARD licence and as such, as per the policy
decision and Circulars, the petitioner/appellant is ineligible for
having a second licence in the family. Moreover, it is also seen
that the shop in question has been reserved for physically
handicapped candidates. Considering these aspects, in our view,
W.A.No.1276 of 2009
– 2 –
the learned Single Judge was justified in rejecting the prayer of the
petitioner/appellant.
We see no merit in the writ appeal and accordingly it is
dismissed.
