That the respondents may kindly be directed to charge/levy renewal drug licence fee of Rs. 7,500/- only from the licencees/manufacturers for the items, which have already been included in the list of drugs to be manufactures in Forms 25 and 28 as prescribed under the Drugs Rules, 1945. (ii). That the manufacturers be allowed to manufacture more than 500 items or as per fee structure applicable for the State of Maharashtra. (iii). That the excess fee which has already been deposited/paid by the licencees/manufacturers may kindly be allowed to be refunded to the liicencees/manufacturers. 2. The petitioner is a practicing lawyer and he has neither any interest in the matter nor he is an affected party. We do not think that any public interest is served since the beneficiaries are the drug manufacturers and they have no grievance. If that be so, we do not think that this should be treated as pro bono publico litigation. Therefore, the same is dismissed, so also pending application(s), if any.
