WPMB No. 167 of 2003 Hon. Irshad Hussain, J. Hon. M.M. Ghildiyal, J. Heard Ms. Menka Tripathi, learned counsel for the petitioners and Sri Sharad Sharma, learned counsel for the respondents. This is a writ petition by a society challenging the impugned order passed by the Commissioner, Kumaon Division, Nainital granting licence to four individuals for plying rickshaws in Nainital city. The petitioner claims to be the registered society having an object to safeguard the interest of persons who want to have a rickshaw and ply for their livelihood. By-laws relating to the rickshaw does not permit any society to seek licence, but only individual who himself plys a rickshaw, can be granted a licence so that he may earn his livelihood. The impugned order is in conformity with the bye-laws and our attention has been drawn by Sri Sharad Sharma to the Rule 2(a) of the Bye-laws of January, 1942 which enables the grant of licence only to a person who himself plys the rickshaw. The petitioner has in the past also took recourse to legal remedy for the benefit of its members and filed writ petition before the Allahabad High Court which had got to be dismissed as not maintainable by order dated 19.12.1997 (Annexure-2 to the writ petition). Considering these aspects, we are of the view that the petitioners have no legal cause to agitate the matter for grant of licence and also to challenge the licences to four persons by the impugned order. We therefore, do not propose to entertain the petition and the same is hereby dismissed. (Irshad Hussain, J.) (M.M. Ghildiyal, J.) 10.03.03./B.
