CORAM :P.B.MAJMUDAR & R.M.SAVANT, JJ. DATE : JUNE 25, 2009 P.C. 1. The petitioner is selling sugar cane juice in a shop which was initially allotted to him on a licence basis at Army Market, Colaba, Bombay. The said shop is under the management and control of respondent No.2. It is the case of the petitioner that he was allotted the said shop in the year 1994 and he has been issued Vendor Pass No.4089, which is being renewed from time to time as per the terms of the respondent No.2. It seems that in December 2001, the said vendor pass was not renewed by the Department. The petitioner thereafter, made various representations to the administration requesting to renew his vendor pass No.4089 and to return the same after such renewal. Since no 2 decision was taken on the representation made by the petitioner, this petition is filed by the petitioner. 2. During the pendency of the petition, an interim order was passed to the effect that the vendor pass of the petitioner may not be granted to any third party/person. The learned counsel for the respondent vehemently submitted that the petitioner has no legal right to occupy a particular place Cantonment area. It is further submitted that whether to renew licence or not for the purpose of selling sugar cane juice is the question which the respondent No.2 can only decide. At this stage, the learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the representation made by the petitioner to the administration may be directed to be decided expeditiously. 3. In our view, considering the facts and circumstances of the case, the petitioner is permitted to make appropriate representation to the respondent No.2 pointing out the factual aspect of the matter and giving all necessary details. The representation may be made within a period of two weeks from today. The said representation may be in connection with renewal/granting licence for running sugar cane juice in the very shop. If any representation is made, the respondent No.2 may take appropriate decision as deem fit and in accordance with law and if the respondent No. 2 is of the opinion that the said licence can be renewed, appropriate 3 decision/order may be passed on the said representation. However, this aspect is entirely left with the respondent No.2 regarding taking decision. Whatever may be the decision, the same shall be communicated to the petitioner without delay. Till the said representation is decided, the interim order granted earlier, to continue till then. In case, no such representation is made by the petitioner within the stipulated time, the interim relief which is already operating shall not govern thereafter. 4. Subject to what is stated above, the writ petition is disposed of. ( R.M.SAVANT, J. ) (P.B.MAJMUDAR, J.)
