THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE NOUSHAD ALI WRIT PETITION No.19218 OF 2011 BETWEEN: 1. Sri S. Jaffer and another …. PETITIONERS And 1. The Commissioner, Endowments Department, Hyderabad, and others. …. RESPONDENTS Counsel for petitioners: Ms. Vijetha Borukkati Counsel for respondents: G.P. for Endowments. The Court made the following order: ORDER: This writ petition is misconceived. The petitioners have challenged the action of the 3rd respondent-temple in issuing the public notice calling for tenders for auction of the leasehold rights of the shops. The petitioners state that earlier they were the tenants of the shops bearing Nos.9/505/A2 and 9/505/A1 belonging to the 3rd respondent-temple. They were forced to relocate their business on account of demolition of the said shops. It is the case of the petitioners that they were assured that whenever construction of new shops are made, they would be accommodated. However, the temple instituted a suit O.S.No.338 of 2008 in the Court of the Principal Junior Civil Judge, Proddatur for recovery of arrears of rent and the petitioners have also filed suits O.S.Nos.462/2008 and 463/2008 seeking a decree directing them to continue in the premises. It is also stated that the said suits were dismissed for default and they have filed petitions for restoration of the said suits. On the basis of the aforesaid facts, the petitioners contend that the impugned notification to conduct auction for leasehold rights is illegal. I am unable to accept the same. Admittedly the petitioners are not the existing tenants of the temple. The suits said to have been filed by them have also been dismissed as on date. Further the suit filed against them for recovery of rents is admittedly pending against them. There is no obligation on the part of the 3rd respondent either to reserve or allot the shops in favour of the petitioners. No vested right exists in favour of the petitioners either under law or by any other enforceable instrument. In the circumstances, the writ petition is devoid of merits and the same is accordingly dismissed at the admission stage. No costs. ________________ NOUSHAD ALI, J. 8th July, 2011 Js
