THE HON’BLE Ms. JUSTICE G. ROHINI WRIT PETITION No. 28335 2011 Dated: 19.10.2011 Between : M.V.Subba Rao … Petitioner And The APSRTC and another … Respondents The Court made the following:- THE HON’BLE Ms. JUSTICE G. ROHINI WRIT PETITION No. 28335 2011 ORDER: The Andhra Pradesh State Road Transport Corporation invited tenders by notification dated 13.09.2011 inviting tenders for grant of lease in respect of the stalls earmarked in the bus stands specified therein. The petitioner, who is an existing licensee for running a canteen at Eluru Bus Station Complex, filed this writ petition seeking a declaration that the said tender notification dated 13.09.2011, to the extent of earmarking two stalls at Eluru Bus Station Complex for running Tea & Tiffin Centres is arbitrary and illegal. As could be seen from the material available on record, the only grievance of the petitioner is that the action of the respondents in earmarking the stalls at Eluru Bus Station Complex for carrying on similar business in sale of eatables would adversely affect his business in the existing canteen for which his licence is subsisting upto 2014. It is true that the petitioner has been granted a licence for a period of six years from 13.3.2008 to 12.3.2014 for running a canteen at new Bus Station Complex, Eluru. However under the terms and conditions of the Deed of Licence executed between the Corporation and the petitioner, there is no condition that no similar business would be permitted in future in the complex. Hence, the impugned action of the Corporation cannot be held to be arbitrary or illegal on the ground that it may adversely affect the business of the petitioner. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is dismissed. However, this shall not preclude the Corporation to consider the representation said to have been made by the petitioner on 3.10.2011 and pass appropriate orders in accordance with law. No costs. ___________ G. ROHINI, J Date: 19.10.2011 Ivd
