     This writ petition is filed praying for quashing Ext.P7 and<\/p>\n
for a declaration that the first respondent ought not have<\/p>\n
entertained the application of the 4th respondent. Petitioner is<\/p>\n
also seeking consequential reliefs.\n<\/p>\n
     2.   The controversy in this writ petition is in relation to<\/p>\n
the appointment of an authorised whole sale distributor(AWD) in<\/p>\n
Thiruvananthapuram Taluk. Ext.P8 is an advertisement issued<\/p>\n
by the second respondent inviting application for the<\/p>\n
appointment of an AWD.        One of the requirements was that<\/p>\n
solvency certificate in original should be produced along with<\/p>\n
application. It was also specified that the applications which<\/p>\n
were   not accompanied with the prescribed documents will not<\/p>\n
be considered.\n<\/p>\n
     3.   In response to Ext.P8,      applications were received<\/p>\n
before 25.6.2003, the last date fixed in the advertisement.<\/p>\n
W.P.(C).No.30960\/2006<\/p>\n
                                :2:<\/span><\/p>\n
Exts.P9 and P11 are the applications submitted by the petitioner<\/p>\n
and the 4th respondent. From Ext.P10 -Mahazar prepared at the<\/p>\n
time when the applications were opened in the presence of the<\/p>\n
applicants, it is revealed that the 4th respondent had produced<\/p>\n
only a stamped application and none of the documents<\/p>\n
prescribed in the advertisement were produced.<\/p>\n
      4.    The applicants were called for an interview on<\/p>\n
16.6.2004 by the second respondent where seven of them<\/p>\n
appeared. It is submitted that the 4th respondent produced a<\/p>\n
solvency certificate on 16.6.2004.     On conclusion process of<\/p>\n
selection, Ext.P1 order was issued by the second respondent<\/p>\n
granting licence to the petitioner as AWD. Aggrieved by the<\/p>\n
appointment of the petitioner, the 4th respondent filed Ext.P2<\/p>\n
appeal before the Commissioner of Civil Supplies and the<\/p>\n
Appellate Authority rejected the appeal by Ext.P4. Later the 4th<\/p>\n
respondent filed Ext.P5 revision before the first respondent and<\/p>\n
by Ext.P7, the revision was allowed holding that the 4th<\/p>\n
respondent was the most eligible candidate since the solvency<\/p>\n
certificate offered by her for Rs.12,81,375 was the maximum. It<\/p>\n
is challenging Ext.P7 and for other reliefs that this writ petition<\/p>\n
is filed.\n<\/p>\n
W.P.(C).No.30960\/2006<\/p>\n
                                :3:<\/span><\/p>\n
     5.     The 4th respondent would submit that in response to<\/p>\n
Ext.P8 advertisement, she had submitted an application. It is<\/p>\n
stated that although she had applied for a solvency certificate<\/p>\n
there was some delay and hence the solvency certificate could<\/p>\n
not be submitted along with the application and that all<\/p>\n
documents except the solvency certificate were produced by her<\/p>\n
on 4.3.2004 and on obtaining the solvency certificate the same<\/p>\n
was produced on 16.6.2004. She would also contend that when<\/p>\n
she tendered solvency certificate before the District Collector on<\/p>\n
16.6.2004 that was refused to be accepted and therefore she had<\/p>\n
to fax the document to his address. It is further contended that<\/p>\n
requirement of solvency certificate is not a part of the rules and<\/p>\n
therefore even if solvency certificate was not produced that<\/p>\n
could not have resulted in the rejection of her application. In<\/p>\n
this connection, the counsel made a reference to the judgment<\/p>\n
of a Division Bench of this Court in Varkey v. State of Kerala<\/a><\/p>\n
(1984 KLT 567).\n<\/p>\n
     6.     The learned Government Pleader on the other hand<\/p>\n
would submit although production of solvency certificate was<\/p>\n
one of the conditions in the advertisement the 4th respondent had<\/p>\n
not produced the solvency certificate along with the application.<\/p>\n
W.P.(C).No.30960\/2006<\/p>\n
                                :4:<\/span><\/p>\n
It is also stated that since the amount offered by the 4th<\/p>\n
respondent was the maximum, they have accepted the solvency<\/p>\n
certificate and hence the revision was allowed.<\/p>\n
      7.    I have considered the contentions of both sides. It is<\/p>\n
the admitted position that Ext.P8 advertisement inviting<\/p>\n
applications required production of solvency certificate and it<\/p>\n
also provided that failure to produce solvency certificate would<\/p>\n
result in rejection of the application.     The application form<\/p>\n
(Exts.P9 and P11), though not statutory, also required the<\/p>\n
applicants to produce solvency certificate obtained from the<\/p>\n
Tahsildar, vide clause 6 thereof. In spite of these mandatory<\/p>\n
prescriptions, it is the admitted fact that before 25.6.2003, the<\/p>\n
last date for submission of the application, the 4th respondent<\/p>\n
had not produced the solvency certificate.<\/p>\n
      8.    Even on the first date of personal hearing fixed on<\/p>\n
5.3.2004 she did not make it available. Even according to the 4th<\/p>\n
respondent only on 16.6.2004 she made available the solvency<\/p>\n
certificate. It is the petitioner’s specific contention that when<\/p>\n
the application forms received in response to Ext.P8 were<\/p>\n
opened on 25.6.2003 the 4th respondent was also present. The<\/p>\n
documents that were produced by all the applicants have been<\/p>\n
W.P.(C).No.30960\/2006<\/p>\n
                                :5:<\/span><\/p>\n
recorded in Ext.P10 Mahazar prepared on that occasion. He<\/p>\n
would also content that the 4th respondent was fully aware of the<\/p>\n
solvency certificate offered by the petitioner and therefore she<\/p>\n
had that advantage when she offered her solvency certificate on<\/p>\n
16.6.2004. On this basis it is submitted that prejudice has been<\/p>\n
caused to the petitioner.\n<\/p>\n
     9.     Thus it is a case where the mandatory conditions of<\/p>\n
the notification have not been complied with by the 4th<\/p>\n
respondent. If that be so, the second respondent was justified in<\/p>\n
treating the 4th respondent ineligible for granting licence as<\/p>\n
AWD. The Appellate order also has to be upheld for the same<\/p>\n
reason. In so far as Ext.P7 order in revision is concerned, except<\/p>\n
that the highest amount was offered by the 4th respondent, there<\/p>\n
is no another reason stated in Ext.P7. Since solvency was not<\/p>\n
produced as provided in Ext.P8 advertisement, what she<\/p>\n
produced subsequently could not have been accepted. For that<\/p>\n
reason alone Ext.P7 cannot be sustained.\n<\/p>\n
     10. Coming to the Division Bench judgment reported in<\/p>\n
1984 KLT 567, from Para 3 of the judgment it is noticed that<\/p>\n
the application in that case did not require the applicant to<\/p>\n
produce solvency certificate unlike in Exts.P9. It is also the<\/p>\n
W.P.(C).No.30960\/2006<\/p>\n
                                :6:<\/span><\/p>\n
found in that case that by the subsequent production of the<\/p>\n
solvency certificate no prejudice was caused. In this case it is<\/p>\n
the specific contention of the petitioner that at the time when<\/p>\n
the 4th respondent produced solvency certificate she knew the<\/p>\n
amount offered by the petitioner. Therefore, at the time when<\/p>\n
she offered solvency certificate she certainly had that advantage.<\/p>\n
If that be so, prejudice been caused.\n<\/p>\n
      11. For these two reasons I find that the Division Bench<\/p>\n
judgment relied on by the counsel do not apply to the facts of the<\/p>\n
case.\n<\/p>\n
      In the result, Ext.P7 will stand quashed and the writ<\/p>\n
petition is allowed.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
