For the respondents-State: Mr. Vikas Kumar, AC to Advocate General. ------ 02. 08.04.2010 The petitioner, describing himself a public spirited person, has knocked at the doors of this Court under Article 226 of the Constitution of India alleging that the tenderers who have submitted tenders seeking contract/licence for manufacture and supply of country liquor in a particular zone though they have been found fit, yet they have not been granted exclusive privilege, as a consequence of which huge loss has been caused to the State. Additionally, it is contended that the procedures which have been engrafted in the excise policy have been - 3 - given an indecent burial. This court in Humlog Trust & Ors. Vs. The State of Bihar & Ors., 2010 (2) P.L.J.R 289, has already held by a detailed order that this kind of matter does not come within the domain of public interest even in the remotest manner. In view of aforesaid, we are not inclined to interfere in the matter and, accordingly, the writ petition, being sans merit, stands dismissed. Sunil (Dipak Misra, C.J.) (Mihir Kumar Jha, J.)
