Mr.N.G. Kale, advocate for petitioner. Mr.S.V. Kurundkar, Addl. G.P. for respondent/state. Mr.A.R. Nikiam, advocate for respondent no.4. ........ (CORAM : V.R.KINGAONKAR,J.) DATE : 7th July, 2010. PER COURT : 1. Heard. 2. The petitioner has filed this Petition challenging the order dated 23rd February, 2010 rendered by the Hon'ble State Minister, whereby the revision application preferred by the respondent no.4 was partly allowed. The order of the District Supply Officer was modified. The amount of security, however, was forfeited by the District Supply Officer, which order is maintained by the State Minister. 3. The petitioner is admittedly not card holder who was attached to the shop of the respondent no.4. The respondent no.4 2 runs fair price shop. The petitioner is not directly affected by the impugned order. The counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner has filed the Petition in the interest of majority of the consumers in the village. This is not a representative Petition. In this view of the matter, the Petition is not maintainable and moreover, there are disputed questions of facts involved in the Petition. The Petition is dismissed. Ad-interim relief stands de- clamped. 4. In view of the dismissal of the Writ Petition, nothing survives in Civil Application No.5983/2010, hence same shall stand dismissed.
