Date: 14TH JUNE, 2007. Date: 14TH JUNE, 2007. Date: 14TH JUNE, 2007. P.C. . This petition has been filed in public interest by a medical practitioner with the grievance that the bonafide users of Pay and Park Zone are deprived of parking space as the contractors who are managing the Pay and Park Zone are allowing several people to park their vehicles without payment of any parking charges either because of their political influence or because 2 they are residents/shop keepers having their residential places and/or shops and the offices nearby. The public interest which is sought to be espoused is that only those vehicle owners should be allowed to park in Pay and Park Zone who make payment for utilizing the said Pay and Park Zone. It is on this ground that the learned counsel for the petitioner seeks stay of the tendering process which is initiated by the respondent Municipal Corporation. 2. We do not find any public interest involved in this litigation. If the person who is a successful bidder for a particular Pay and Park Zone is required to pay a certain fixed amount to the Bombay Municipal Corporation, it is his sweet choice whether he recovers the parking charges from a person parking in the Pay and Parking Zone allotted to him or allows to park his vehicle without charging any parking charge i.e. free of charge. Therefore, the PIL stands dismissed with cost quantified at Rs. 5000/- (J.N. Patel, J. ) (J.N. Patel, J. ) (J.N. Patel, J. ) (A.A. Sayed, J. ) (A.A. Sayed, J. ) (A.A. Sayed, J. )
