The Court is not willing to exercise the jurisdiction under Article 226 of the Constitution of India in the dispute which has been raised by the petitioner. 2. The grievance of the petitioner is that for an identical printing work which related to 1989 Lok Sabha and 1990 Assembly election payments made to him was at a lower rate than that which was given to the Zila Parishad Press for the district. This according to the petitioner is a discrimination and violation of Article 14 of the Constitution of India. Submission of learned 2 counsel is misplaced for more than one reason because there is no agreement or order which has been brought on record as to what was the agreed amount on which the petitioner has accepted the responsibility and private printing press and Government printing press cannot be made at par. 3. The writ application accordingly stands dismissed. (Ajay Kumar Tripathi,J) AI PATNA HIGH COURT Dated 05.12.2008 AI/NAFR
