JUSTICE ADARSH KUMAR GOEL ACTING CHIEF JUSTICE HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE AJAY KUMAR MITTAL. PRESENT: Mr. S.K.Bhardwaj, Advocate for the petitioner. Adarsh Kumar Goel, ACJ. 1. This petition seeks quashing of decision dated 26.11.2010, Annexure P.6 not to allot liquor sub vend and refund the bid amount given by the petitioner. 2. Case of the petitioner is that pursuant to advertisement for allotment of country liquor vends for the year 2010-11, the petitioner applied and was successful bidder. He deposited sum of Rs.4,82,000/- on 23.4.2010 and thereafter further installment of like amount on 30.4.2010 but he was not allowed to open the liquor vend in view of opposition of the Panchayat. The opposition as expressed in the resolution of the Panchayat was prior to the allotment and was in the notice of the authority allotting the vend. The petitioner earlier filed CWP No.8640 of 2010 which was disposed of on 12.5.21010 with liberty to approach the concerned authority. 1 CWP No.9393 of 2011 Accordingly, the petitioner made a representation which has been rejected on 26.11.2010 by the impugned order. 3. We have heard learned counsel for the petitioner. 5. Apart from the stand of the respondents that allotment was by mistake, direction for allowing the petitioner to run liquor vend cannot be granted when the period for which the vend was allotted is over. However, respondent No.3 while passing the impugned order has not dealt with the claim of the petitioner for refund of the amount deposited by him. Accordingly, we direct respondent No.2 to take decision on the said claim of the petitioner within one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. The petition is disposed of accordingly.
