CWP No.6701 of 2010 (O&M) 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. DATE OF DECISION: 26.10.2010 Kirat Singh ...Petitioner VERSUS State of Haryana and others …Respondents CORAM HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE PERMOD KOHLI PRESENT: Mr.Sachin Mittal, Advocate for the petitioner Mr.RD Sharma, DAG, Haryana Permod Kohli, J. (Oral) Keeping in view the controversy involved and with the consent of learned counsel for the parties, this petition is disposed of at motion stage itself. The petitioner was granted licence for ad hoc stamp vendor in District Gurgaon. He is working for considerable period. His licence is being renewed from time to time. The respondents have issued advertisement dated 27.8.2009 inviting applications for permanent stamp vendors at various Tehsils in District Gurgaon. The detail of the number of permanent stamp vendors is indicated in the aforesaid public notice issued by the Deputy Commissioner, Gurgaon. Apart from the above, qualifications for stamp vendors have also been indicated. The last date for CWP No.6701 of 2010 (O&M) 2 receipt of application was 15.9.2009. The petitioner has also applied for consideration for Permanent Stamp Vendors Licence. The only grievance of the petitioner is that his experience is not being taken into consideration by the respondents. It is submitted on behalf of petitioner that since he is working for a considerable period and has acquired sufficient experience, he should be given some preference/weightage while granting permanent Stamp Vendor Licence. Though there is no such rule or regulation for grant of any weightage, however, keeping in view the fact that the petitioner is working as adhoc stamp vendor for a considerable period and has acquired experience and there is nothing adverse against him, it is deemed appropriate that while granting permanent Stamp Vendor Licence, some weightage be given to the petitioner on the basis of his experience as ad hoc stamp vendor. Disposed of. (PERMOD KOHLI) JUDGE 26.10. 2010 MFK CWP No.10585 of 2010 3
