The petitioner is aggrieved with Exhibit P5 order. The petitioner is the proprietor of two establishments, which are dealers of the manufacturer, M/s.Bajaj Auto Limited. The petitioner maintains two dealerships; at Kottayam and Vaikom, both by name “M/s.Royal Motors”. Exhibits P1 to P3 are “trade certificates” for Vaikom. On a renewal application being made, the same was declined by Exhibit P5. The denial was for the reason that M/s.Royal Motors, Vaikom has not produced any proof as to the “bona fide dealership” of M/s.Bajaj Motors Ltd. 2. In fact, the authorisation of dealership is evidenced by Exhibit P4 letter of the manufacturer. It is also clear that the petitioner has two trade certificates, one at Vaikom and one at Kottayam. The trade certificate at Kottayam is evidenced from the document produced along with the memo dated 31.10.2014. The same has also been renewed regularly.
WP(C).No.927 of 2013 - 2 -
3. In the above circumstance, Exhibit P5 is set aside and the petitioner shall be issued with a trade certificate at Vaikom, if the dealership is now subsisting, within a period of one month from today.
The writ petition is allowed. Parties are left to suffer their respective costs.
