Ext. P5 is an application filed by the petitioner seeking

review of an order passed by the 1st respondent under the Kerala

Rationing Order. Admittedly, the 1st respondent is not conferred

any power of review. It is settled law that unless the statute confers

the power of review, the authority does not have such an inherent

power. In this case, admittedly there is no such power.

2. In view of this, the petitioner cannot seek a writ of

mandamus for the disposal of Ext. P5 application for review.

Writ petition fails and is dismissed.
