Respondents. ----------- For petitioner : Mr.Siya Ram Shahi,Advocate For respondent No.3 : Mr.Udit Narayan Singh, Advocate For State : Mr.Krishna Murari Prasad, AC.to SC-I. 03 01.08.2011 The matter relates to allotment of a shop for stamp vending in the Judgeship of Aurangabad i.e the district Court. The respondents seems to have allotted the shop in pursuance of earlier order by which it makes clear that the petitioner has got the licence in 1987 whereas the respondent no.3 has got the licence in 1988. In view of the above circumstances, we are of the opinion that a direction be issued to the allotting authority, the District and Sessions Judge, Aurangabad to consider the matter afresh taking into the date of seniority in getting licence for vending stamp. Accordingly, the disputed shop will be allotted in accordance with seniority. The order of learned Single Judge dated 9.7.2009 passed in CWJC No. 7683 of 2009 is set aside and the L.P.A. is allowed. psc (T.Meena Kumari,J.) (Vikash Jain, J.)
