Judgment Theertha Puram, Kallakurichi Taluk, Villupuram District. Their grievance is that they were not issued with ration card. The first petitioner was given ration card earlier. However, the same was cancelled erroneously on the ground that he was not residing at Vasudevanur Village. The second petitioner is not issued with ration card though she made an application. Both the petitioners seek issuance of ration card as they are residing at Vasudevanur Village. 2. The first petitioner has enclosed the identity card issued by the Election Commission of India in the typed set of papers to establish that he is a resident of Vasudevanur. The first petitioner belongs to Scheduled Caste. The first petitioner has also enclosed the community certificate dated 08.08.1989 issued by the Tahsildar, Kallakurichi showing that the first petitioner is ordinarily residing at Vasudevanur Village in Kallakurichi Taluk. The first petitioner has also enclosed a certificate that his son Nithish is studying 9th standard in the Government School at Vasudevanur Village. The first petitioner has also enclosed a letter dated 08.11.2008 sent by the Corporation Bank, Madur, directing him to appear for an interview to the post of Sweeper at Madhur and nearby branches. It is stated that his name was sponsored by Employment Exchange for temporary work. The letter was sent to Vasudevanur, Thagam Theertha Puram, Kallakurichi Taluk. 3. I have perused those documents. 4. The documents that are enclosed in the typed set have established that the first petitioner is residing at Vasudevanur. Hence, I am satisfied that the first petitioner is the resident of Vasudevanur Village. In these circumstances, I am of the view that the first petitioner shall be issued with ration card. 5. Therefore, the second respondent is directed to issue ration card to the first petitioner within a period of six weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. 6. As far as the second petitioner is concerned, the second respondent is directed to issue ration card after making necessary enquiry as to her residence. The second respondent is directed to undertake the aforesaid exercise within a period of six weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. 7. With the above said directions, the Writ Petition is disposed of. No costs.
