IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Writ Petition No.6184 of 2011 M/s Smt. Veero Devi, Amritsar Vs. Union of India & others Present: Mr.S.L.Chander Shekhar, Advocate, for the petitioner. ***** RANJIT SINGH, J. The petitioner has filed this writ petition seeking mandamus directing the respondents to renew/allot the licence to the petitioner or to include the name of the petitioner in the license/ agreement for catering contractor at the Railway Station, Amritsar. As per the petitioner, the Government has framed a new catering policy vide commercial circular dated 21.7.2010. Under the new policy, earlier catering and tourism corporation has been abolished and the respondents are now intending to allow old catering contractors and have invited them for providing better cooking for the passengers. In this regard, petitioner has received a communication dated 17.3.2011 requiring him to pay the outstanding amount of ` 4,34,610/-. The petitioner has, thus, filed this writ petition to say that he is ready to pay the arrears but in easy instalments. In my view, this writ petition is totally misconceived. If the petitioner is ready to pay the arrears, which have been rightly demanded, he may approach the respondent-Railway authorities. Writ court would not be competent to ask the respondents to accept the amount in instalments. It is a matter to be settled between the petitioner and the Railway authorities. The writ petition is, therefore, dismissed. April 07, 2011 ( RANJIT SINGH ) ramesh JUDGE
