1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CIVIL APPELLATE JURISDICTION WRIT PETITION NO.8560 OF 2009 1.Somanath Shivanand Sakhare & Anr. ...Petitioners vs. 1.Solapur Municipal Corpn. & Ors. ...Respondents --- Mr.M.R.Deshpande, for Petitioners. Mr.Vijay Killedar i/b. Mr.Nitin Jamdar, for Respondent nos.1 to 3. Mr.S.N.Patil, AGP for Respondent nos.4 to 6. CORAM: D.K.DESHMUKH & A.R.JOSHI, JJ. DATED: 27th January,2010. P.C.:- 1. By this petition, the petitioners seek two reliefs. By prayer clause (a) the petitioners seek writ of mandamus directing the Respondent Nos.1 & 4 i.e. Solapur Municipal Corporation and its authorities to frame guidelines or rules in respect of supply of water by an individual to other individuals or company and grant the licence to the petitioner, if 2 necessary. We are not pointed out any provision by which the Corporation is obliged to frame any guidelines or rules. In any case, even assuming that the Corporation has power to frame Rules, a writ of mandamus cannot be issued to direct, either the principal legislature or the subordinate legislature, to legislate. So far as the grant of licence is concerned, the learned Counsel appearing for petitioners is not in a position to show under what law the licence is required. So far as the other prayer is concerned, the petitioners prayed for writ of mandamus directing the Corporation to remove the iron bar and open the road to vehicles, admittedly the petitioners have filed a Regular Civil Suit no.165 of 2009 before Civil Judge, Sr.Div. Solapur claiming same reliefs, and therefore, petition for that reliefs cannot be entertained. The Petition is, therefore, rejected. (D.K.DESHMUKH, J.) (A.R.JOSHI, J.)
