Mr. S.D.Kaldate, AGP for the respondent State. ... CORAM: K.U.CHANDIWAL, J. DATE:7-4-2010 P.C.:- 1. Heard. Petitioner has challenged the communication dt. 16.9.2009, issued by the learned Additional Collector, Parbhani, whereby the kerosene quota of petitioner for the month of Sept., 2009, is notified to be 228 Kilo liters. Mr. Deshmukh submits, quota, as per the licensing condition was 275 kilo liters and it could not have been reduced to 228 kilo liters. 2. In the affidavit in reply, it has been pointed out, the supply 2 to Parbhani district and, particularly, H.P.C. Co. allotted a quota of 768 kilo liters. On proportionate percentage basis, from the month of Sept.,2009, it was 228 kilo liters, for petitioner. 3. This may be correct, however, the grievance of the petitioner is, when there was already 275 kilo liters quota, for reduction in the quota, base figures of supply for July, 2002, could not have been taken into consideration, as has been referred in the letter dt. 29.8.2009 ( page No.58 of the paper book), issued by the Additional Secretary, Food and Supply Department, Mumbai. 4. In the situation, the petitioner herein is allowed to make a representation to the Collector or Additional Collector, Parbhani, in response to the letter under challenge dt. 16.9.2009, to stake his eligibility for 275 kilo liters 3 either for particular month of Sept.,2009 or for further period. The learned Additional Collector shall deal with the representation on its own merits in comprehension with the Government circulars, and availability of the quota for the district Parbhani. Learned Additional Collector to dispose of the matter within eight weeks. Writ Petition disposed of with above observation. (K.U.CHANDIWAL) JUDGE ... agp/8142-09wp
