IN THE HIGH COURT OF BOMBAY AT GOA WRIT PETITION NO. 750 OF 2010 MR. DEVANAND CHANDRAKANT MAYENKAR ... Petitioner Versus STATE OF GOA THROUGH ITS SECRETARY AND 4 ORS., ... Respondents Shri Raunaq Rao, Advocate for the Petitioner. Shri Vivek Rodrigues,Additional Government Advocate for Respondent Nos.1, 2 and 4. Shri A. F. Diniz, Advocate for Respondent No.3. Coram:- S. C. DHARMADHIKARI & F. M. REIS, JJ. Date:- 29th March, 2011 P.C.:- This petition is filed by the petitioner in public interest alleging gross illegality and mismanagement in the allotment of space/stalls in the new market complex at Panaji. The learned Counsel appearing for the petitioner has invited our attention to the Order dated 24-11-2010 and submits that the petitioner has complied with the Rules framed by this Court with regard to filing Public Interest Litigation, and this petition has been treated as a P.I.L. Although, the petitioner is personally satisfied with the allotment of a stall on the first floor of the new market complex bearing No.30-B and new No.193 in lieu of the old stall No.202-C, it should not happen that the petitioner is compromising a P.I.L. and thereby giving up the grievance which is espoused in public interest. Having found that the petitioner is willing and ready to accept the allotment and the stall earmarked in the plan produced by Shri A. F. Diniz, we direct that if the petitioner complies with necessary formalities he should be put in possession of the stall in the new market complex, on the date he executes the license agreement. As far as the grievance raised about the alleged illegalities and irregularities in the allotment is concerned, disposal of this petition will not prevent the petitioner and similarly situated persons from raising appropriate grievances by making a representation to the competent authority. Needless therefore to state that we have not expressed any opinion on the various contentions with regard to the alleged illegalities and irregularities in the allotment but finding that the petitioner requires some premises for carrying on his business and which are now allotted to him, his grievance to a substantial extent is redressed, the petition is disposed of keeping open the issues raised in public interest.
