Respondents ----------- For the petitioner : Ms. Ratna Das, Advocate For the Railways : Mr. Naresh Dikshit, Advocate ----------- 2. 12.11.2009. A bare perusal of the agreement brought on record contained in Annexure-2 would show that the petitioner has also acquired a right to run a canteen for the benefit of the staff after entering into an agreement with East Central Railway Women’s Welfare Organisation and the staff union has worked out an additional arrangement in the new building. Since the adhoc arrangement for six months have been made on the recommendation of the members of the union for whose benefit the said staff canteen is being run, no interference is warranted under Article 226 of the Constitution of India because it is not a case of public largesse and the settlement is not being made by the Railways as such. The writ application is misplaced and it is dismissed. Pawan/- (Ajay Kumar Tripathi, J.)
