THE HON'BLE Ms. JUSTICE G.ROHINI WRIT PETITION No. 25975 OF 2011 Dated: 16.09.2011 Between: K.Prasada Rao and another ..... PETITIONERS AND The Chief Commercial Manager, A.P.S.R.T.C., Musheerabad and 7 others ..... RESPONDENTS The Court made the following : THE HON'BLE Ms. JUSTICE G.ROHINI WRIT PETITION No. 25975 OF 2011 ORDER : The petitioners herein were granted licences by the A.P. State Road Transport Corporation (for short ‘the Corporation’) for installing water Kiosks in R.T.C. bus stations at Ongole and Addanki, Prakasam District respectively. Accordingly, the petitioners after paying the required licence fees constructed stalls and carrying on their business including sale of purified water. While so, it has been proposed by the Corporation to install R.O. plant (Reverse Osmosis Plant) in different bus stations including Ongole and Addanki bus stations and accordingly, by notification dated 29.04.2011 tenders were invited for grant of licence for sale of R.O. water. So far as Ongole bus station is concerned, an open place situated at a distance of 12 feet from the 1st petitioner’s water Kiosk was notified in the tender notice dated 29.04.2011. Similarly, so far as Addanki bus station is concerned, an open space situated at a distance of 25 feet from the water kiosk installed by the 2nd petitioner was notified for installation of R.O plant. As the R.O. plants notified by the Corporation are proposed to be located within 12 feet and 25 feet from the water kiosks of the petitioners which would invariably affect the business of the petitioners, they made a representation dated 08.06.2011 requesting the respondents 1 to 6 to shift the location of the proposed R.O. plants at Ongole and Addanki bus stations. Aggrieved by the inaction on the part of the respondents 1 to 6 in considering the request of the petitioners, the present writ petition is filed. I have heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and Sri K.Srinivas Rao learned standing counsel for the Corporation appearing for the respondents 1 to 6. As could be seen from the material available on record, the petitioners have already made a representation dated 08.06.2011 requesting the Corporation to change the location of the R.O. plants proposed to be installed in Ongole and Addanki bus stations. Since the Corporation is yet to consider the said representation, it is not necessary for this Court to go into the merits of the case and therefore, the interference by this Court is not warranted at this stage. Instead, I deem it appropriate to direct the respondents 1 to 6 to consider the representation of the petitioners and pass appropriate orders in accordance with law. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the respondents 1 to 6 to consider the representation of the petitioners dated 08.06.2011 and pass appropriate orders in accordance with law as expeditiously as possible, preferably within a period of two weeks from the date of receipt of this order. No costs. ​ ____________ G. ROHINI, J Date: 16.09.2011 Note: Issue CC by Monday (B/o) Ivd
