Pleader for the State. ... CORAM : B.R.GAVAI AND : S.V.GANGAPURWALA,JJ. Date : 27.07.2010. 2 ORAL JUDGMENT (Per S.V.Gangapurwala,J.) 1. The present petitioner takes exception to the proclamation issued by the Respondent No.4 inviting applications for the grant of additional fair price shop in village Shewade, Tq.Shindhkheda, Dist.Dhule. It is the case of the petitioner that in the said village the provision is only for one fair price shop and if additional shop is established then the petitioner would not be in a position to run business of fair price shop. On that count has prayed to quash the said proclamation. 2. The Respondent No.4 has filed affidavit and has brought on record that the number of units now is 5904. If the number of units cross 4000 then there is a provision for second fair price shop. 3. In view of the fact that as per the norms laid down by the Government, one additional fair price shop can be established and run in the said village, the petitioner does not have any vested right. It would be within the competence 3 of the Respondents to issue proclamation for allotment of additional fair price shop. It is not the case of the petitioner that her shop is being disturbed. The ground raised was that on account of death of her husband, there was no other source of income and it was necessary for her to run the shop for education of her minor son and a daughter who was required to be married. As the petitioner's shop is not been disturbed, the proclamation for an additional shop would not be prejudicial to the interest of the petitioner. 4. In light of the above, the Writ Petition being sans merit is dismissed. However, there shall be no order as to costs. (S.V.GANGAPURWALA,J.) (B.R.GAVAI,J.) asp/office/wp59198 4
