PETITIONER AND A.P.State Road Transport Corporation, Rep.by its Managing Director, R.T.C.Cross Roads, Hyderabad and another .....RESPONDENTS THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE S.ANANDA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.17693 of 2007 ORDER: This writ petition is filed by the petitioner, aggrieved by the inaction of the respondents and sought for a Mandamus, declaring the action of the respondents in not finalizing the tender for Stall No.28 in Mahatma Gandhi Bus Station, Imlibun, Hyderabad, pursuant to the tender notification dated 29.05.2006, as illegal, arbitrary, without jurisdiction and consequentially, sought for direction. It is stated that the respondent Corporation invited tenders for leasing out the Stall No.28. With reference to the said stall, the respondents received tenders, including the one from the petitioner, who offered originally Rs.60,786.39 ps per month towards licence fee. But, however, when he was called for negotiations, he has agreed to pay Rs.63,786.39 ps. But the stand of the respondent Corporation is that on earlier occasion it was let out for licence fee of Rs.1,18,000/- per month, therefore, it was stated that the Corporation is not willing to allot the shop to the petitioner on a licence fee of Rs.63,786.39 ps and in fact, offered to lease out to the petitioner, if the petitioner is willing to pay the licence fee that was paid by the earlier licencee. It is represented on behalf of the petitioner that the petitioner is not willing to pay the licence fee at the rate, required by the respondent Corporation. Under the above circumstances, the Writ Petition is dismissed, as the petitioner has no right to seek order in his favour for accepting the offer made by the petitioner at Rs.63,786.39 ps since the said amount is less than the earlier licence amount. The Respondent Corporation is at liberty to take appropriate steps, inviting fresh tenders. No order as to costs. ___________________ S.ANANDA REDDY.J Dated:01.10.2007 Dsr
