1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY NAGPUR BENCH, NAGPUR Writ Petition No.1804 of 2009 (Saiyad Habib Muhamad Saiyad Kadar v. State of Maharashtra and others) Office Notes, Memoranda of Coram, appearances, Court's orders or directions Court's or Judge's orders and Registrar's order Shri M.A. Vaishnav, Advocate for Petitioner. Shri S.S. Doifode, AGP for Respondent Nos.1 to 4. Shri A.V. Bhide, Advocate for Respondent No.5. Coram : R.K. Deshpande, J. Dated : 6 th September, 2010 This petition challenges the order dated 20-6-2008 passed by the Minister for Food and Civil Supplies, Mantralaya, Mumbai, whereby the orders passed by the lower authorities cancelling the kerosene licence in the name of respondent No.5 are set aside. By the said order, the kerosene licence in the name of respondent No.5 has been restored. The petitioner in the present petition was not a party in the proceedings before the Minister. He was also not a party in the proceedings before the lower authorities. He is only the kerosene licence holder. However, there is nothing on record to demonstrate as to how the petitioner is aggrieved by the order impugned. Merely because there is some illegality or irregularity in passing such order, that by itself would not give any right to the petitioner to challenge the said order. Apart from this, the 2 impugned order dated 18-9-2000 has been challenged in the year 2009. There is no explanation for delay and laches. In the result, there is no substance in this petition and the same is, therefore, dismissed. Judge pdl
