Dated : 14th September 2009 ORAL ORDER [ Per B. R. GAVAI, J. ] ; 1. By way of present petition, the petitioners challenge allotment of license of fair price shop to respondent No.3. 2. It is the contention of the petitioner that in accordance with the Government Resolution dated 3-11-2007, the fair price shop is required to be given to Mahila Bachat Gat after the Committee constituted under Clause 3 (C) of the said Government Resolution dated 3-11-2007 considers application and thereafter the application is sent to Gram Sabha for consideration and 2 recommendation. 3. It is the contention of Shri Shelke that said procedure has not been followed while allotting fair price shop to the respondent No.3. 4. Vide our Order dated 31-7-2009, we had instructed learned Asstt. Govt. Pleader to verify as to whether the applications were considered by the Committee. 5. Accordingly, learned Asstt. Govt. Pleader has placed before this Court minutes of the meeting dated 2-8-2009. From the perusal of the minutes, it will reveal that the Committee has considered the recommendations of Gram Sabha wherein it was decided to allot shops by draw of lots. 6. In that view of the matter, we do not find any reason to interfere in the extra ordinary writ jurisdiction under Article 226 of the Constitution. Hence petition is rejected.
