The Divisional Commissioner, Patna Division, Patna. 4. The Municipal Commissioner, Municipal Corporation of Patna, Patna. ----- Respondents. ---------- 3. 7.7.2011 Heard Mr. Shubhankar Sharma for the petitioner, Mr. Roy Shivaji Nath, learned Additional Advocate General No.3 for respondent nos. 1 to 3, and Mr. Sanjay Prakash Verma for respondent no.4. This writ petition in the nature of a public interest litigation seeks protection of the right of the street vendors doing business on the streets of Patna. It is stated in the writ petition that all the 71 street vendors are licence-holders from the Patna Municipal Corporation and are liable to pay the licence fee. However, the petitioner is objecting to collection of licence fee by the instrumentality of contractors to whom this job of collection has been outsourced. We 2 are of the view that it is an entirely administrative decision, and the Court feels it inappropriate to interfere with such administrative decisions. The writ petition is dismissed. Vinay/ ( S.
