Raut adv for R-3 to 5 Shri Pendse, adv for R-4 Shri Dharmadhikari Assistant Government Pleader for R-6 CORAM : SMT. VASANTI A. NAIK & SHRI P.B. VARALE, JJ. DATE : JULY 28, 2011. Heard. By this petition, the petitioners seek a declaration that the allotment of shops by the respondent nos.1 and 2 during the pendency of the petition to the allottees is illegal. Shri Dongre, the learned counsel for the petitioner states that the rest of the grievances made by the petitioner have been redressed except the grievance of the petitioner in regard to the allotment of shops by respondent no.1 and 2 during the pendency of the writ petition. It is the case of the petitioner that in accordance wit the provisions of section 55 of the Bombay Village Panchayat Act 1958, it was necessary for the respondent no.1 and 2 to take previous sanction of the C.E.O. before making the allotment of shops, but it has not been taken. This petition has not been registered as a public interest litigation. It is also not averred in the petition that it is filed as such. The petitioner has no locus standi to seek the 2 relief sought in the petition. The petition is liable to be dis issed on this short ground Even otherwise, we feel that the petitioners have not made out any ground for seeking a declaration that the allotment of the shops by respondent no1. And 2 during the pendency of the petition is illegal as no previous sanction of the C.E.O. was taken before making the allotment as section 55 of the Act of 1958 provides that the previous sanction of the C.E.O. is required only in a case where the transfer is for a period exceeding three years. There is nothing on record to show that the transfer was for a period of more than 3 years and hence there is no question of applying the provisions of section 55 of the Act of 1958 to the facts of this case. For the reasons aforesaid the writ petition is dismissed with no order as to costs. JUDGE JUDGE SMP
