(Oral) Notice of motion. Mr.RD Sharma, DAG, Haryana who is present in Court has been asked to accept notice on behalf of the respondents. Keeping in view the controversy involved and with the consent of learned counsel for the parties, this petition is disposed of at motion stage. The petitioners were granted licence for ad hoc stamp vendors in District Gurgaon. They are working for considerable period. Their licences are 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 CWP No.16150 of 2010 2 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 receipt of application is 15.9.2009. The petitioners have also applied for their consideration for Permanent Stamp Vendors Licence. The only grievance of the petitioners is that their experience is not being taken into consideration by the respondents. It is submitted on behalf of petitioners that since they are working for a considerable period and have acquired sufficient experience, they 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 petitioners are working as adhoc stamp vendor for a considerable period and have acquired experience and there is nothing adverse against them, it is deemed appropriate that while granting permanent Stamp Vendor Licence, some weightage be given to the petitioners on the basis of their experience as ad hoc stamp vendors. Disposed of. (PERMOD KOHLI) JUDGE 9.9. 2010 MFK
