State of Maharashtra & Ors. ...Respondents Shri D.B. Sawant for Applicant Shri R.M. Patne- Government Pleader for State CORAM: SWATANTER KUMAR, C.J. & V.M. KANADE J. DATED JUNE 18, 2008 P.C. 1. The present appeal is directed against an order dated 7th January, 2008 passed by the Learned Single Judge who has dismissed the petition filed by the Petitioner Appellant herein. 2. The basic contention raised on behalf of the Appellant was that there are other liquor shops in the same area and that action has been taken only in respect of his shop. This according to them violated Article 14 of the Constitution of India. The Learned Single Judge by dismissing the petition and relied on the judgments of the Hon'ble Supreme Court reported in A.I.R. 2003 S.C. 3983 wherein it was held that it does not amount to discrimination in as / 2 / much as no right can be based on illegalities. We have no reason to differ from that the view taken by the Learned Single Judge and it is proper jurisdictional discrimination. However, the Learned Counsel for the State submits that they would taken action against the other shops also and such an action would be taken expeditiously. In view of the statement in any case the grievance if any does not survive. Petition is dismissed. Civil Application does not survive and is disposed of accordingly. CHIEF JUSTICE V.M. KANADE
