Judgment :- Admit. Learned Additional Government Pleader takes notice. With the consent of the learned counsel on either side, the writ petition itself is taken up for final disposal. The petitioner is the son of one Arumugham. Arumugham is having a registration certificate issued to him under the Tamil Nadu Kerosene Control Order to hold and vend kerosene as a retailer. The said Arumugham is detained under Tamil Nadu Act 14/1982. He continues to be in detention and there is no dispute about that. The petitioner wants a direction to the respondent to supply kerosene to him under the registration certificate standing in the name of his father, so as to make him earn and keep the family moving. Admittedly, the petitioner is not holding any authorisation under the Tamil Nadu Kerosene Control Order to hold and vend kerosene. In other words, he is asking for supply of kerosene to him under his father's licence. 2. The Tamil Nadu Kerosene Control Order does not give any legal right in favour of the petitioner to compel the respondent to supply kerosene to him. Under the licence already issued in favour of the petitioner's father, it is only he, who can ask for supply of kerosene. In other words, under the said Order no person, other than the person holding a licence or a registration certificate issued under the Order, will have a legal right to compel the respondent to supply kerosene. Therefore the writ petition fails and it stands dismissed. No costs. Consequently W.P.M.P.No.37274/2003 is closed.
