THE HON'BLE THE CHIEF JUSTICE SATISH CHANDRA SHARMA
AND
THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE ABHINAND KUMAR SHAVILI
WRIT APPEAL No.231 of 2007
JUDGMENT: (Per the Hon'ble the Chief Justice Satish Chandra Sharma)
The present writ appeal is arising out of the order dated
22.02.2007 passed by the learned Single Judge in W.P.No.22440 of
2006.
The undisputed facts of the case reveal that the
appellant/writ petitioner is a physically handicapped person and
he was allotted a place for establishing a telephone booth, vide
proceedings dated 20.06.1986. A specific condition was mentioned
in the allotment order that the appellant/writ petitioner shall
vacate the place within thirty days as and when the place is
needed. The facts of the case further reveal that action was
initiated by the respondents/APSRTC for evicting the petitioner
and a civil suit in O.S.No.467 of 2003 was preferred by the
appellant/writ petitioner before the learned I Junior Civil Judge,
City Civil Court, Secunderabad. In the aforesaid civil suit, an
application was preferred under Order XXXIX Rules 1 and 2 C.P.C.
and the same was dismissed by order dated 17.06.2003.
Challenging the same, the appellant/writ petitioner preferred
C.M.A.No.47 of 2003 before the I Additional Chief Judge, City Civil
Court, Secunderabad and the same was also dismissed by order
dated 16.12.2003. The petitioner/plaintiff finally preferred
C.R.P.No.179 of 2004 and this Court has passed the following
order:-
"Having heard both sides and perused the material available on record, I am of the opinion that the Courts below have not committed any error calling for interference of this Court under Article 227 of the Constitution of India. May be, the
petitioner is a physical handicapped person, but he is not entitled for a special treatment in allotment of space as they are all matters of public policy. Admittedly, a notice dated 2.6.1998 was issued to the petitioner directing him to vacate the said PCO and questioning the same, the petitioner filed W.P.No.4497 of 2003. The said writ petition was dismissed on 17.3.2003. Therefore, the petitioner cannot squat on to create hurdles in the way of respondent-APSRTC. The C.R.P. is devoid of merits and liable to be dismissed.
Accordingly, the C.R.P. is dismissed. No order as to costs.
However, the respondent-APSRTC may continue the petitioner till the tenders are called for allotment of this particular space. If the petitioner is interested, he is at liberty to participate in the said tenders. Further, the petitioner shall give an undertaking stating that as and when tenders are finalized, he will vacate and deliver vacant possession of the premises to the respondent-APSRTC or he will enter fresh agreement, if he succeeds in the tenders."
Meaning thereby, an order was passed by this Court holding
that the appellant/writ petitioner will be entitled to continue in the
place in question till tenders are issued and finalised. He was also
granted liberty to participate in the tender process. The judgment
delivered by the learned Single Judge has attained finality and it is
binding upon the parties inter se.
The respondents, in the light of the aforesaid judgment,
issued a tender and thereafter requested the appellant/writ
petitioner to vacate the premises in question. One Mr. S. Rajender
was the successful tenderer and the appellant/writ petitioner was
unsuccessful in the process of tender. The appellant/writ
petitioner being aggrieved in the matter has preferred a writ
petition and the learned Single Judge has dismissed the writ
petition in the light of the earlier order passed in C.R.P.No.179 of
2004.
In the considered opinion of this Court, as a fresh tender
was issued and the matter has finality on account of the order
passed in C.R.P.No.179 of 2004, the learned Single Judge was
justified in dismissing the writ petition. This Court also does not
find any reason to interfere with the order passed by the learned
Single Judge.
Resultantly, the writ appeal stands dismissed.
Pending miscellaneous applications, if any, shall stand
closed. There shall be no order as to costs.
