Therefore, to balance the interest, without deviating from G.O.Ms.No.10, the objection of the dealers with regard to the same can be meted if maximum figure 450 for rural area, 550 for urban area and 650 for corporation area is considered as the minimum figure to be allotted to the existing shop on bifurcation. On submission of such representations by the dealers within one month, the authorities shall answer each objection raised by the dealer and pass appropriate order within two weeks thereafter.” 4 VS,J W.P.No.25019 of 2018 3.
