THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.9183 of 2011 Dated 07th April, 2011 Between: V.Satyam …Petitioner And The Andhra Pradesh Road Transport Corporation rep.by its Managing Director, RTC X Road, Hyderabad and others …Respondents Counsel for the petitioner: Sri Challa Srinivasa Reddy Counsel for respondents: --- The Court made the following: ORDER: This writ petition is filed for a mandamus to set aside tender notice, dated 08.03.2011, issued by respondent No.2. The petitioner was allotted a stall in the Yellandu bus stand belonging to respondent No.1-Corporation in the year 2005. It is the pleaded case of the petitioner that initially the shop was licenced to him on a licence fee of Rs.3,300/- per month for the first three years, with 10% annual enhancement upto the expiry of six years. On the eve of expiry of the licence period, respondent No.2 issued the impugned tender notice inviting fresh tenders to the shop in question, apart from the stalls in other various bus stands in Khammam District. The petitioner while conceding that the licence period in his favour will be expiring on 11.04.2011, however, pleads that as a practice, the licencees are being continued even after the expiry of licence period on allowing 10% enhancement over the existing licence fee. Except this ipsi dixit of the petitioner, no material is filed in support thereof. Indeed Clause-46(a) of the agreement entered into between the petitioner and the respondents, the period is stipulated. In my opinion, with the expiry of the licence period, the petitioner does not have any enforceable right to remain in possession or to insist that the respondents shall renew the licence in his favour. Such a plea if accepted would affect the public interest, as such a course would deprive respondent No.1-Corporation of getting proper revenue. For the above-mentioned reasons, I do not find any merit in this writ petition and the same is accordingly dismissed. Needless to observe that the petitioner is entitled to participate in the tender process. As a sequel to dismissal of the writ petition, W.P.M.P.No.11386 of 2011 filed by the petitioner for interim relief is disposed of as infructuous. C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J 07th April, 2011 VGB
