WP(C) 2678/2008 BEFORE THE HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE B.K. SHARMA Heard Mr. P. Sarma, learned counsel for the petitioner as well a s Mr. P. Roy, learned Additional Sr. Govt. Advocate, Assam. The petitioner is the sitting lessee of the Thelamara Daily Mark et. The settlement period is from 1.7.2007 to 30.6.2008. According to the petitioner, due to various reasons he could not operate the market for full period and in such manner the petitioner suffered h uge loss. By Annexure-F and H representations dated 12.5.2008 and 5.6.2008 made to the Block Development Officer, Dhekiajuli Development Block, the petitioner p rayed for re-settlement of the market for the period 2008-09. In the meantime, the President, Dhekiajuli Anchalik Panchayat, D hekiajuli has issued the notice dated 16.5.2008 for settlement of the said marke t for the period from 1.7.2008 to 30.6.2009 as per the provision of Assam Pancha yati Raj Act, 1994 and the rules framed thereunder, fixing the last date as 25.6 .2008. As noted above, the settlement period of the petitioner will be over on 30.6.2008. Thus, necessarily the authority will have to make arrangement for settlement of the market for the year 2008-2009. Accordingly notice dated 1 6.5.2008 has been issued. In my considered opinion, it will not be appropriate f or this Court to interfere with the said notice, merely because the representati on of the petitioner is pending before the authority. Needless to say that it is always advisable to settle market through tender system. The present writ petit ion has been filed just at the time of issuing the tender notice, seeking re-set tlement of the market for another term. Nothing has been stated as to whether th ere is any provision for re-settlement of the term. Without expressing any opinion on the merit of the case of the p etitioner, this writ petition is disposed of providing that it will be open for the respondents to dispose of the aforesaid Annexure-F and H representations as expeditiously as possible. Writ petition is disposed of.
