IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.10702 of 2009 SRI RAMA SHANKAR PANDEY SON OF LATE BAIDYANATH PANDEY, RESIDENT OF PASSENGER’S GARDA ASSOCIATION HAVING ITS OFFICE AT UDWANT NAGAR, DISTRICT BHOJPUR, BIHAR ….. PETITIONER Versus 1. UNION OF INDIA THROUGH GENERAL MANAGER, EASTERN CENTRAL RAILWAY, HAJIPUR, DISTT. VAISHALI 2. GENERAL MANAGER, EAST CNETRAL RAILWAY, HAJIPUR, DISTRICT VAISHALI 3. CHIEF COMMERCIAL MANAGER, EAST CENTRAL RAILWAY, HAJIPUR, DISTRICT VAISHALI ….. RESPONDENTS. ----------- For the Petitioner : Mr. Laxmi Narayan Das, Advocate For the Respondents : Mr. Mahesh Prasad, Advocate ---------- 2. 25.8.2009 Heard Mr. Laxmi Narayan Das, for the petitioner and Mr. Mahesh Prasad, for the respondents. The prayer in this writ application filed by the President of an association of railway passengers is for issuing a writ of mandamus directing the respondents not to hand over the Railway Restaurants and five stalls run by the Indian Railway at the platforms of Patna Junction to the Indian Railway Catering and Tour Corporation. We do not think it is for the High Court to go into the policy matters. Therefore we do not think it will be appropriate to entertain this writ application. However, the representation already made by the petitioner may be considered by respondent no.2 i.e. General Manager, East Central Railway, Hajipur, District Vaishali on its own merit, notwithstanding the fact that we have not entertained the writ application. 2 It is accordingly disposed of.
