Petitioner Vs. State of Maharashtra & Ors. ... Respondents None for the petitioner. Mr. R.P. Behre, AGP for respondent 1. Mr. R.S. Apte, senior counsel for respondent 3. CORAM: MRS. RANJANA DESAI & R.V. MORE, JJ. DATED : 1ST SEPTEMBER, 2010. P.C.:- 1. Neither the petitioner nor his counsel is present. The petitioner has, inter alia, prayed for a direction to the respondents to collect taxes from all persons who are using the premises for the purposes of manufacturing clothes on the power looms from the structures at the rate prescribed AJN PIL135.06 2 by the Government and regularize their power looms for manufacturing clothes as industries. 2. In short, the petitioner wants the alleged unauthorized structures to be regularized and taxes to be recovered from the owners of the power looms. 3. The petition contains vague allegations. Besides, the questions of collection of taxes and regularization of the unauthorized structures fall within the domain of policy decisions. No public interest petition can be entered. The petition is dismissed. 4. Needless to say that the civil application does not survive and is disposed of as such. [MRS. RANJANA DESAI, J.] [R.V. MORE, J.]
