THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO WRIT PETITION No.19062 of 2006 Dated: 22-09-2006 Between: Noori Readymade Garments Production & Sales Mutually Aided Cooperative Society Limited, Anantapur. ..... PETITIONER AND The Mandal Revenue Officer, Ranga Reddy District, and others. .....RESPONDENTS THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S. RAO WRIT PETITION No.19062 of 2006 ORDER: Noori Readymade Garments Production & Sales Mutually Aided Cooperative Society Limited, Anantapur, (the petitioner-society, for brevity), which is engaged in supplying uniform cloth and uniforms to various Government departments, filed this writ petition. During the year 2005-2006, the petitioner-society has statedly obtained work order from the Executive Engineer, Roads and Buildings Department, N.H. Division, Anantapur, respondent No.4 herein and executed the work of supplying cloth/uniforms worth Rs.44,573/-. Again for the year 2006- 2007 also the petitioner-society requested respondent No.4 for the work order, which was denied. It is alleged that as directed by the District Collector, Kadapa, Sri Rajasree Garment Society, Kadapa, has been given work orders every year but and the same is to the petitioner- society. Therefore, the petitioner-society seeks a writ of Mandamus directing the respondents to issue work order to it. The learned counsel for the petitioner-society submits that during the year 2005-2006, having regard to the fact that the petitioner-society is a mutually aided cooperative society, respondent No.4 issued work order to it, which was duly executed. However, for the current year 2006-2007, though the work order was issued to Sri Rajasree Garment Society, the respondents denied the same to the petitioner-society in a discriminative manner. During the course of arguments, a copy of G.O.Rt.No.50 dated 22-05-2002 issued by the Government of Andhra Pradesh, Industries and Commerce (Textiles) Department is placed before this Court. It contains a policy decision to the effect that 100 per cent requirement of clothes for supply to Government departments, Government hospitals etc., should be purchased from the Andhra Pradesh State Handloom Weavers Cooperative Society Limited (APCO). Therefore, this Court does not find any illegality in the action of the respondents denying the work order to the petitioner-society. However, it is now well settled that no person can compel the Government department to issue work orders. The petitioner-society has no right which can be enforced in this writ petition. The writ petition, with the above observations, is accordingly dismissed. No costs. _____________ (V.V.S.RAO, J) 22nd September, 2006 ghn
