HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE GODA RAGHURAM WRIT PETITION No. 7315 of 2007 DATED: 10-04-2007 Between: D,.Basha …Petitioner and The Senior Divisional Manager Commercial, S.C.Railway, Divisional Officer Commercial Branch, Guntakal and another …Respondents. HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE GODA RAGHURAM W.P.No. 7315 of 2007 ORAL ORDER: The writ petition is misconceived. The petitioner was granted a licence to have a STD/ISD/PCO booth on Plat form No.1 of Mantralayam Road Railway Station in 1998 which was being extended periodically since then. Admittedly, the petitioner’s licence was renewed upto 28-4-2007. The respondents have now issued a notification (impugned in this writ petition) calling for applications from unemployed persons, ladies and widows of Railway employees for grant of a licence for a period of five years to run STD/ISD/PCO/FAX in several Railway Stations including Mantralayam. The petitioner has filed this writ petition alleging that if his existing licence is not renewed, he will suffer deprivation of livelihood. The petitioner has not placed before this Court any legal authority that entitles the extension of his lease/licence still infinity. Admittedly, his licence period comes to an end by 28-4-2007 and thereafter he has no right to continue in the premises. There is no infirmity in the impugned tender notification issued by the respondents. The petitioner, if eligible, may always bid pursuant to the tender notification. On the aforesaid analysis, there are no merits in the writ petition and the same is accordingly dismissed at the stage of admission after hearing Sri R.V.Narasimha Raju, the learned Standing counsel for the respondents also. There shall be no order as to costs. _______________________ GODA RAGHURAM, J 10-04-2007 GRR
