Brahmpura, District-Muzaffarpur, Joint Secretary Of the Bihar Stamp Vendors Union, Headquarter Registry Office, Muzaffarpur.

District Sub. Registrar, Khagaria. ----------- 6 27/3/2009 In the opinion of this Court the plea taken by the petitioner, a Stamp Vendor that more appointment of the stamp vendors would lead to reduction in his monthly income, can hardly be a ground for making judicial review by this Court in exercise of power under Article 226 of the Constitution of India. The concept of stamp vendors at best is one of licensee and therefore the State will always be entitled to see as to how its interest is better served in the matter of distribution and availability of stamps in the general people by appointing more stamp vendors as prescribed by law. Be that as it may, as the stand taken to this effect in the counter 2 affidavit has not been specifically controverted by the petitioner, this Court would not find any merit in this writ application and the same is accordingly dismissed.
