1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CIVIL APPELLATE JURISDICTION WRIT PETITION NO.9364 OF 2009 Ms Anju @ Anjali Ramji Dauda ...Petitioner v/s The State of Maharashtra and ors. ...Respondents Mr S.B. Kalal for Petitioner. Mr S.N. Patil, AGP for Respondents. CORAM : D.K. DESHMUKH AND A.R. JOSHI JJ. DATE : 15TH FEBRUARY 2010. 2 P.C. :- 1] Rule, returnable forthwith. Heard finally by consent of the parties. 2] It is common ground that by order dated 31st July 2006, the petitioner was given licence to run a ration shop for a period of three months and that temporary authorisation was brought to an end in July 2009. The complaint of the petitioner is that there was no reason to discontinue the authorisation in favour of the petitioner. The petitioner has approached this Court challenging the discontinuation. The explanation of the respondents is that the petitioner was not given authorisation on permanent basis, it was given only on temporary basis and the same was discontinued because the process has been initiated for giving it on permanent basis. It is common ground that the said process has not been completed and nobody has been given permanent authorisation. The learned Assistant Government Pleader appearing for 3 respondents could not explain except to say that the authorisation of the petitioner was discontinued so that she could not claim to continue her on permanent basis on the basis of temporary accommodation. No reason why authorisation of the petitioner has been discontinued is given. It is common ground that granting permanent authorisation takes considerable length of time and therefore, following order would meet the ends of justice. 3] On the petitioner submitting an undertaking before the Tahasildar, Dahanu, District Thane undertaking not to make any claim for getting permanent authorisation on the basis of grant of temporary authorisation to her, the Tahasildar shall continue temporary authorisation in favour of the petitioner till the permanent authorisation is given. On grant of permanent authorisation, temporary authorisation granted in favour of the petitioner will automatically come to an end. Rule is made absolute with no order as to costs. 4 Parties to act on the copy of this order duly authenticated by the Sheristedar / Private Secretary of this Court. Certified copy expedited.
