Ghatge, A.G.P. for respondents no.1 to 4. CORAM : P.V. HARDAS AND A.V. POTDAR, JJ. DATE : 5th October, 2009 PER COURT : This is a petition under Article 226 of the Constitution of India by which the petitioner prays for issuance of a writ directing the respondents to issue quota of food grains to the shops of the petitioner situated at Aathawade Bazar, Bhusawal. 2. On notice of this petition being issued to the respondents, the respondents have filed their affidavit in reply. In the affidavit in reply it is stated that the authorities have not carried out any fresh survey to find out new below poverty line persons and, therefore, there is no question of issuance of any quota for such below poverty line persons. It is also pointed out that in the year 2006 the petitioner had submitted certain false information in respect of the below poverty line persons and, therefore, the request of the petitioner came to be rejected. It is further stated that 2 the Tahsildar, Bhusawal has submitted a report to the respondent no.3 District Supply Officer pointing out that there are no below poverty line card holders assigned to the shops of the petitioner. It is further stated that if any persons claim to be below poverty line and submit an application along with necessary proof of belonging to that category, the same would be considered and after appropriate enquiry if the person is found eligible then the said below poverty line person can be assigned to the concerned fair price shop from the relevant area. At paragraph 7 it is stated that in fact quota for below poverty line persons has been provided to the ration shops of the petitioner i.e. shops no.50 and 51 as per availability of the quota. 3. Thus, considering the affidavit in reply, we do not find any merit in the petition and the petition is, therefore, summarily dismissed with no order as to costs. ( A.V. POTDAR, J.)
