By this writ petition, the petitioner has prayed for a direction to the respondents to extend the term of lease in respect of No. 40 Chela Charikaria Fi shery in the district of Lakhimpur. The petitioner was allowed to run the fishery purely on temporary basis having regard to the fact that there was no adequate man power to maintained the fishery. Such temporary arrangement was made to avoid further loss of revenue. Such temporary arrangement was without any fixed period. The petitioner was allo wed to run the fishery on payment of Rs. 900/- per day. Now this writ petition has been filed seeking extension of the term. In this connection, the petitioner has made Annexure-D representation dated 6.3.200 8. In absence of any fixed period to run the fishery and having regard to t he fact that the arrangement with the petitioner to run the fishery was purely o n temporary basis, I am of the considered opinion that there was no question of granting any extension to the petitioner. It will be absolutely upto the authori ty to deal with the matter in accordance with law. Needless to say that it is al ways advisable to settle the fishery by tender process. It is expected that the Government will deal with the matter. Writ petition is dismissed.
