THE HON'BLE MS JUSTICE G.ROHINI WRIT PETITION No. 17687 of 2006 Date 25-08-2006 Between: Dadi Krishna. ..... PETITIONER AND The Divisional Manager (Rural, APSRTC, Visakhapatnam District. .....RESPONDENT THE HON’BLE Ms. JUSTICE G. ROHINI WRIT PETITION No.17687 OF 2006 ORDER: This writ petition is filed seeking a declaration that the action of the respondent-Corporation in inviting tender, vide tender notification dated 13-07-2006, for grant of license to carry on business in shop Nos.12 and 18 of Anakapalle Bus Station for sale of bakery items etc. as illegal and arbitrary. The only grievance of the petitioner is that the petitioner was already running the business in shop No.13 of the said bus station with similar items under the license granted to him with effect from 16-06-2006, which is valid up to 15-06-2012. It is alleged that if the license is granted to carry on the business in respect of the same items in the same premises, it would lead to unhealthy competition among licensees apart from resulting in financial loss to the petitioner. Having heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned standing counsel appearing for the Corporation and keeping in view the particular clause under which the respondent- Corporation is entitled to grant license to more than one licensee to do the same type of business which was already existing in the same bus station/commercial complex, I do not find any justifiable reason to grant Mandamus as prayed for. Accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed. However, this order shall not come in the way of the Corporation to consider the representation dated 18-08-2006 made by the petitioner in accordance with law. ____________ 25-08- 2006 usd
