VAZIFDAR, J. DATED : 16TH MARCH, 2009. P.C. : 1. By an order dated 5.2.2009, the parties were put to notice that the matter may be disposed of finally at the admission stage. 2. Accordingly Rule. Rule is made returnable forthwith and heard finally. 3. The Petitioner has challenged an order inviting tenders in respect of the Petitioner’s stall at Shivaji Nagar Railway Station. The notice inviting bids published on 20.12.2008 was stated to be : "Against vacancy due to death of original licensee". One of the catering stall/fruit juice centres in respect whereof the bids were invited was at Shivaji : 2 : Nagar Railway Station. This stall is in fact managed by the Petitioner as a licensee. The Petitioner was the licensee in respect of the said stall as well as the stall at Lonavala Railway Station. 4. It is pertinent to note that no tender has been issued in respect of the stall at Lonavala Railway Station. This is obviously because the Petitioner is alive and running the same. Due to an obvious communication gap, the Respondents were not informed specifically regarding the Petitioner’s rights as a licensee in respect of the stall at Shivaji Nagar Railway Station. 5. In the circumstances, the notice inviting tenders in respect of the stall being run by the Petitioner at Shivaji Nagar Railway Station is not sustainable. 6. In the circumstances, the Writ Petition is made absolute in terms of prayers (a) and (b). There shall be no order as to costs.
