Vs. Vennadam Sahakari Machimar Sanstha Maryadit & ors. ....Respondents Mr. Abhijit Kadam, Advocate for Applicant. Mr. Ajit Kenjale, Advocate for Respondent No.1. Mr. R.M. Patne, AGP for Respondent Nos. 2 to 6. CORAM:- GIRISH GODBOLE, J DATED:- NOVEMBER 25, 2011 P.C. 1. Perused the Application and the Affidavit in Reply filed by the Assistant Commissioner of Fisheries (Tech.), Satara and Chandrakant Lokhande, Vice Chairman of Respondent No. 1. The Minutes of the order dated 10/8/2010 passed in Writ Petition are very clear. In my view they do not contemplate payment of licence fee forever by the Petitioner to the 2 6.caw2253.11 Respondent No. 1 and they contemplate payment of licence fee to the licencing authority though the licence will continue to be issued in the name of Respondent No.1 and the Respondent No.1 will continue to be contractor. For the current year commencing from 1st November, 2011 and ending 31st October, 2012, the Respondent No.1 has already paid sum of Rs. 49,890/- to the licencing authority. Thus for this year for the 51 members of the Petitioner Society, the Petitioner will pay a sum of Rs. 256/- per member i.e. a sum of Rs. 13,056 to the Respondent No. 1 and the Respondents will permit 51 members of the Society to carry out activity of fishing alongwith 144 members of Respondent No. 1. 2. It is needless to state that all the fishermen meaning thereby the members of the Petitioner and the Respondent No.1 will strictly comply with the terms and conditions of the contract as contained in letter dated 26/8/2011 written by the Regional Deputy Commissioner of Fisheries, Pune Division, Pune to the Chairman of the Respondent No.1 and due care should taken, particularly in respect of the Condition No. 2.10 and 2.11 of that letter. From the next year onwards, though the contract would continue to be renewed in the name of Petitioner till expiry of term of initial 5 years for which the contract has been awarded, the Respondent 3 6.caw2253.11 Government Authority should accept the pro rata licence fee directly from the Petitioner and Respondent No. 1 respectively and renew the contract in favour of the Respondent No.1. 3. Subject to aforesaid directions, Civil Application is disposed off. For this year alongwith the sum of Rs. 13,056/-, the Applicant will submit the requisite documents like photograph and signature/thumb impression of its 51 members to the Respondent No. 1 so as to enable the Respondent No. 1 to issue formal permits. Within one week of submission of the documents, Respondent No. 1 shall issue permits and shall not delay the same. From the next year onwards such applications alongwith photographs will be submitted directly to the Licencing Authority, who shall take appropriate action of issuing permits. (GIRISH GODBOLE, J)
