Insofar as the location at “Harapanahalli” is concerned it is the petitioner and respondent No.6 who would have to be taken into consideration. 9. A perusal of the various tabulated details would indicate that in so far as the premises having been owned by respondent No.6 in the said location has been given 2 marks thereby leading to a total of 9 marks and in so far as the petitioner is concerned since she does not have any premises which is owned by her, hence she got zero marks on that account leading to a total of 8 marks. Thus, respondent No.9 has a higher mark of 9 marks with the petitioner having 8 marks. I do not find any infirmity in the said approved list, the petition stands dismissed.
