THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 23.02.2024, ALONG WITH WP(C).18178/2022 AND CONNECTED CASES, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING:

JUDGMENT

[WP(C) Nos.18178/2022, 19171/2022, 19315/2022, 19323/2022, The petitioners in these cases stake claim to be granted licences, to operate as Authorised Retail Distributor (ARD), under the Kerala Targeted Public Distribution System (Control) Order, 2021 (for short 'Order').

2. Among the afore writ petitions, some of the petitioners

claim to be members of SC/ST community; while, the others, to have been working as salesmen in existing ARDs, thus entitled to the benefit of paragraph 37 of the “Order”.

3. I do not propose to indite the facts involved in each of

these cases in detail in this judgment because, after arguing for some time, both sides are virtually in consensus with respect to the course that can be adopted by this Court.

4. As I have already said above, petitioners in all these writ

petitions, impel rights to be appointed as licencees of ARDs. Their claims are different in its tenor and are edificed on separate causes, including those under the provisions of the “Order”.

5. It is also without doubt that, when the Authorities had

earlier issued notifications inviting applications for being appointed as licencees qua the ARDs in question, they were called into question before this Court and all such were set aside; with a consequential liberty being reserved to the Authorities to issue fresh notifications.

6. It is at this stage, that the petitioners have approached this Court.

7. Sri.Mohammed Youseff - learned senior counsel,

instructed by Smt.Ashifa Youseff - appearing for some of the petitioners, argued that a learned Division Bench of this Court has - in various appeals against the aforementioned judgment of the learned Single Judge, setting aside the original notification - ordered that the jurisdictional District Supply Officer (DSO) must hear each of the claimants and take a decision on their request, before fresh notifications can be issued. He argued that, as far as his clients are concerned, they will be able to demonstrate that they have an undeniable right to be appointed as licencees of the ARDs in question; and therefore, that the question of the Authorities issuing a fresh notification does not arise at all. He thus reiteratingly prayed that the reliefs sought for in the writ petitions in which he is appearing, be granted.

8. The afore submissions of the learned senior counsel were

adopted by the learned counsel appearing for the petitioners in the other cases; however, as I have already said above, basing the rights of their clients on independent and district causes of action projected.

9. To summate, though the edifice on which the claims are made may be different, the effect of them is that the petitioners seek to be appointed as the licencees of the ARDs.

10. I, therefore, asked Sri.S.Renjith - learned Special Government Pleader appearing for the official respondents, whether new notifications have been issued in terms of the earlier

judgment of a learned Single Judge of this Court, to which, his

answer was that though such were issued, no action has been taken thereon because, interim orders came to be issued in the meanwhile, in most of these cases, if not all. He submitted that, therefore, if this Court is so inclined, the jurisdictional DSOs can hear each of the petitioners and assess their claims; to thus decide if any of them are entitled to be granted relief under the provisions of the “Order”; or, if, in the alternative, it requires to continue with further action under the notifications already issued.

11. The afore position adopted by the official respondents,

through the learned Government Pleader, certainly clears the air for the petitioners because, they cannot seek anything more than their claims being considered in terms of law and as per the statutory requirements. If such claims are found to be untenable, through a proper process of evaluation, then I see no reason for them to insist that action pursuant to the notifications now issued, be not taken forward.

12. To paraphrase, it is only if the petitioners are able to

establish their rights in a manner as is known to law, can they stand in the way of further action being taken by the official respondents, to complete the process of appointing licencees for the various ARDs because, any delay in that regard, in fact, impacts the general public more than anyone else.

13. In the afore circumstances, I allow these writ petitions,

to the limited extent of directing the jurisdictional DSOs to hear each of the petitioners, as also any contesting rival - including party respondents; thus culminating in appropriate orders and necessary action; which shall be done as expeditiously as is possible, but not later than three weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.

14. In order to ensure an expeditious compliance of the

afore directions, I direct each of the petitioners and the contesting parties, to appear before the jurisdictional DSOs at 11 a.m. on 02.03.2024; on which day, the said Authority will either hear them, or fix a convenient date for hearing, but complete proceedings within the time frame fixed therein. Needless to say, until such time as the afore exercise is completed and the resultant orders communicated to the petitioners, all further action pursuant to the notifications, if any, already issued, shall stand deferred; and it shall only, based on the decision to be arrived at thereafter, will further action on them be taken forward, including for publication of new notifications, if so found warranted.
