IN THE HIGH COURT OF UTTARAKHAND AT NAINITAL WPMS NO. 66 of 2009 Suresh Kumar …Petitioner. Versus State of Uttarakhand and others. ……Respondents. Mr. Ramji Srivastava, Advocate for petitioner. Mr. K.P. Upadhyay, A.C.S.C. for the State of Uttarakhand. 13th February, 2009 Hon’ble Sudhanshu Dhulia, J. This writ petition has been filed by the petitioner with a prayer that a suitable direction be issued to the respondents not to open any new Fair Price Shop in Village Malukawala, Tehsil Vikas Nagar, District Dehradun. 2. Admittedly, the petitioner himself has a Fair Price Shop and therefore, he apprehends a competition from the new Fair Price Shop, which the Government in its wisdom wants to open at Village Malukawala, Tehsil Vikas Nagar, District Dehradun. 3. The petitioner has neither any locus standi nor any right to question the decision of the Government to open a new Fair Price Shop. 4. The writ petition is wholly devoid of merit and is liable to be dismissed in limine. The writ petition is, therefore, dismissed. No order as to costs. (Sudhanshu Dhulia, J.) 13.2.2009 Rathour
