Counsel for the Petitioner: SRI V.VENKATARAMANA Counsel for the Respondents: The Court made the following : THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO WRIT PETITION No.6395 of 2003 ORDER: The petitioner is statedly engaged in the business of supplying of all kinds of security uniform articles, khakhi nylon socks, leather belts, barrette caps etc., to various organizations including Andhra Pradesh State Road Transport Corporation (APSRTC). The petitioner alleges that it was given an opportunity of supplying security uniform articles to APSRTC till 2001 after receiving purchase order from APSRTC in Vijayawada, Vizianagaram, Karimnagar, Hyderabad, East Godavari, Cuddapah, Nellore and Tirupathi regions. However, from 2001 onwards purchase orders are not issued to the petitioner. Therefore, the present writ petition is ﬁled after issuing a legal notice. The petitioner claims a right to supply security uniforms to APSRTC based on an allegation that till 2001 it was alone given purchase orders. This Court fails to understand as to how purchase order placed by APSRTC for supplying certain items for one year can confer a right on the businessmen to continue for all times. The writ petitioner has no such right to ﬁle writ petition nor it can compel APSRTC to buy goods from it. The Writ Petition is misconceived, and the same is dismissed accordingly. No costs. _____________ (V.V.S.RAO, J) 31.10.2008 vs To 1 The Managing Director, Andhra Pradesh State Road Transport Corporation, Musheerabad, Hyderabad. 2 Chief Controller of Stores, A.P.
