Bukhari, learned waives the service of notice of rule on<br \/>\n\tbehalf of the respondent.\n<\/p>\n<p>With<br \/>\n\tthe consent of the  learned advocates appearing on behalf of the<br \/>\n\trespective parties, the matter is taken up for final hearing.\n<\/p>\n<p>By<br \/>\n\tway of this petition under Article 227 of the Constitution of India,<br \/>\n\tthe petitioners ?  State of Gujarat and others, have prayed for<br \/>\n\tappropriate writ, order and\/or directions   for quashing and setting<br \/>\n\taside  the judgement and order dtd.30\/11\/2007 passed by the learned<br \/>\n\tPresiding Officer, FTC No.2, Panchmahals at Godhara in Misc.Civil<br \/>\n\tAppeal No.105 of 2007 in  allowing the same and quashing and setting<br \/>\n\taside  the order dtd.8\/10\/2007 passed by the  learned 3rd<br \/>\n\t  Additional Senior Civil Judge, Godhara below application Ex.5 in<br \/>\n\tRegular Civil Suit No. 354 of 2007.\n<\/p>\n<p>The<br \/>\n\trespondent herein ?  original plaintiff is having a fair price shop<br \/>\n\tat village Sanoli, Taluka ; Kalol, District Panchmahals. That the<br \/>\n\trespondent ?  original plaintiff is granted license  to run the<br \/>\n\tfair price shop under the Pandit Din Dayal Grahak Bhandar Scheme of<br \/>\n\tthe State Government and he has been allotted  782 Ration Card<br \/>\n\tHolders having population of 4011.  That the respondent is a<br \/>\n\tlicensee  under the provisions of the Essential Commodities Act,<br \/>\n\t1955 and is provided wheat, rice, oil, kerosene etc. for selling it<br \/>\n\tto the poor people more particularly, to the people leaving Below<br \/>\n\tPoverty Line (BPL) as per the Government Policy at reasonable rate.<br \/>\n\tThat in the public interest, it was decided  to have another fair<br \/>\n\tprice shop by way of division  in two parts of the same village.<br \/>\n\tBeing aggrieved by the said decision, the respondent herein ?<br \/>\n\toriginal plaintiff filed Regular Civil Suit No.  354 of 2007  for<br \/>\n\trestraining the petitioners ?  original defendants from reducing<br \/>\n\tthe Ration Card Holders attached with his fair price shop of the<br \/>\n\tplaintiff and restraining the petitioners ?  original defendants<br \/>\n\tfrom opening any other fair price shop in the said village.  In the<br \/>\n\tsaid suit, the petitioner &#8211; original plaintiff filed application<br \/>\n\tEx.5 for interim injunction. It was contended on behalf of the<br \/>\n\toriginal plaintiff that as per the Government Circular \/ Resolution,<br \/>\n\tthere  should be minimum certain number of Ration Card Holders<br \/>\n\tattached with a fair price shop looking to the population and it was<br \/>\n\t further contended that if the Ration Card Holders  are reduced, he<br \/>\n\twill not get sufficient commission and it will not be possible for<br \/>\n\thim to run the fair price shop. It was contended  on behalf of the<br \/>\n\toriginal plaintiff that the said action is in breach of the<br \/>\n\tprinciples of natural justice as no notice or hearing has been<br \/>\n\tafforded  to the plaintiff. The application Ex.5 was opposed  by the<br \/>\n\tpetitioners herein ?  original defendants by submitting that  the<br \/>\n\tsuit itself is not maintainable. It was also further submitted that<br \/>\n\tas such the discretion is with the authority to allow the number of<br \/>\n\tRation Card Holders  and\/or to open the fair price shop looking to<br \/>\n\tthe need of the village people and in the public interest. It was<br \/>\n\tsubmitted that  the paramount consideration is  the public interest,<br \/>\n\t interest of the village people and the Ration Card Holders.  It was<br \/>\n\tfurther submitted that the licensee  has no right,  much less any<br \/>\n\tlegal right,  to have particular Ration Card Holders. It was also<br \/>\n\tfurther submitted that even in the Resolution relied upon by the<br \/>\n\tplaintiff and as per the policy, it is provided that as far as<br \/>\n\tpossible, but certainly any licensee and\/or fir price shop owner has<br \/>\n\tno right, whatsoever, to ask for a particular number of Ration Card<br \/>\n\tHolders.  It was further submitted<br \/>\n\ton behalf of the plaintiff that  as per the Resolution, there shall<br \/>\n\tnot be new fair price shop within the radius of 3 KMs. The learned<br \/>\n\t3rd   Additional Senior Civil Judge, Godhara, after<br \/>\n\thearing both the sides, vide order dtd.8\/10\/2007 rejected the<br \/>\n\tapplication Ex.5 holding that the if the plaintiff feels that no<br \/>\n\topportunity of being heard is provided to the plaintiff, the<br \/>\n\tplaintiff should approach the defendants for redressal of his<br \/>\n\tgrievance and in such event, the defendants will provide opportunity<br \/>\n\tto the plaintiff and take appropriate decision. The trial court also<br \/>\n\theld that the decision of the defendants is in the interest of the<br \/>\n\tpublic in general. Prima facie case and balance of convenience are<br \/>\n\tnot in favour of the plaintiff and if the interim relief as prayed<br \/>\n\tfor is not granted, no irreparable loss is likely to be caused to<br \/>\n\tthe injunction.  Holding accordingly, the trial court rejected the<br \/>\n\tapplication Ex.5 preferred by the plaintiff ?  respondent herein.<br \/>\n\tBeing aggrieved by and dissatisfied with the order passed by the<br \/>\n\ttrial court  below application Ex.5 in rejecting the same, the<br \/>\n\trespondent herein ?  original plaintiff preferred an appeal before<br \/>\n\tthe appellate court and the learned Presiding Officer, FTC No.2,<br \/>\n\tPanchmahals at Godhara, after hearing both the sides, vide judgement<br \/>\n\tand order dtd.30\/11\/2007 allowed the side appeal, by quashing and<br \/>\n\tsetting aside the order passed by the trial court below application<br \/>\n\tEx.5 and further directed the parties to maintain status-quo till<br \/>\n\tfinal disposal of the suit. The appellate court observed that<br \/>\n\tconsidering the documents on record, the appellate court is not<br \/>\n\tagree with the findings recorded by the trial court and the<br \/>\n\tplaintiff has  prima facie case and the order passed by the trial<br \/>\n\tcourt  is in breach of condition of government resolution and<br \/>\n\tagainst the principles of natural justice. Holding accordingly, the<br \/>\n\tappellate court allowed the appeal and quashed and set aside the<br \/>\n\torder passed by the trial court below application Ex.5 and directed<br \/>\n\tthe parties to maintain status-quo till final disposal of the suit.<br \/>\n\tAgainst the said order passed by the learned appellate court, the<br \/>\n\tpetitioners ?  original defendants have preferred present Special<br \/>\n\tCivil Application under Article 227 of the Constitution of India.\n<\/p>\n<p>Mr.Hemang<br \/>\n\tParikh, learned Assistant Government Pleader appearing on behalf of<br \/>\n\tthe petitioners has vehemently submitted that  the appellate court<br \/>\n\thas materially erred in allowing the appeal and granting interim<br \/>\n\tinjunction as prayed for by the plaintiff and restraining the<br \/>\n\tpetitioners &#8211; original defendants from reducing the Ration Card<br \/>\n\tHolders attached with the fair price shop of the plaintiff and<br \/>\n\tfurthers restraining the petitioners ?  original defendants from<br \/>\n\teither opening another fair price shop or division of existing fair<br \/>\n\tprice shop in the same village. It is submitted that what is<br \/>\n\tprovided in the Resolution is that  as far as possible the distance<br \/>\n\tand the Ration Card Holders should be maintained. However, in the<br \/>\n\tlarger public interest and   in the interest of  the village people<br \/>\n\tand the Ration Card Holders, the same can be reduced. It is also<br \/>\n\tfurther submitted that as such the suit itself is not maintainable,<br \/>\n\tas it is realm of policy of the Government to open the fair price<br \/>\n\tshop and to allot the Ration Card Holders to a particular fair price<br \/>\n\tshop.  It is also further submitted that  there is no question of<br \/>\n\taffording any opportunity to the licensee, as the licensee\/fair<br \/>\n\tprice shop owner has no legal right to  ask for particular number of<br \/>\n\tRation Card Holders. Therefore,  it is requested  to allow  the<br \/>\n\tpresent Special Civil Application and quash and set aside the order<br \/>\n\tpassed by the appellate court.\n<\/p>\n<p>Mr.S.K.\n<\/p>\n<p>\tBukhari, learned advocate appearing on behalf of the  respondent ?<br \/>\n\toriginal plaintiff  has submitted that as rightly held by the<br \/>\n\tlearned appellate court, before reducing the Ration Card Holders,<br \/>\n\tno opportunity   has been given and\/or no notice has been issued to<br \/>\n\tthe respondent ?  plaintiff  and hence the said action is  in<br \/>\n\tbreach of the principles of natural justice and the appellate court<br \/>\n\thas rightly allowed the appeal and granted the interim injunction as<br \/>\n\tprayed for by the plaintiff. Therefore, it is requested to dismiss<br \/>\n\tthe present Special Civil Application.\n<\/p>\n<p>Heard<br \/>\n\tthe learned advocate appearing on behalf of the respective parties.\n<\/p>\n<p>At<br \/>\n\tthe outset, it is required to be noted that the respondent ?<br \/>\n\toriginal plaintiff has no vested right to ask for a particular<br \/>\n\tnumber of Ration Card Holders attached with his  fair price shop.<br \/>\n\tThe plaintiff has been granted license  to run the fair price shop<br \/>\n\tunder the scheme of the State Government and it is ultimately for<br \/>\n\tthe State Government to decide how many number of Ration Card<br \/>\n\tHolders should be allotted to a particular fair price shop. The<br \/>\n\tinterest of the Ration Card Holders and the village people is the<br \/>\n\tparamount consideration and  as there is no vested legal right in<br \/>\n\tfavour of the plaintiff, there is no question of issuing any notice<br \/>\n\tand\/or giving any opportunity to the respondent ?  original<br \/>\n\tplaintiff  before taking decision to reduce the Ration Card Holders.<br \/>\n\tPrima facie, it appears that even the suit itself is not<br \/>\n\tmaintainable. However, without entering into the said larger<br \/>\n\tquestion, it appears that the trial court has rightly refused to<br \/>\n\tgrant the interim injunction as prayed for. As such the relief<br \/>\n\tgranted prayed for by the plaintiff by way of interim relief, is the<br \/>\n\tfinal relief sought in the suit. As held by the Hon&#8217;ble Supreme<br \/>\n\tCourt   and this Court in catena of decisions, normally court should<br \/>\n\tbe slow in granting the interim relief, which may be ultimately<br \/>\n\tfinal relief in the suit.  In very very exceptional cases, final<br \/>\n\trelief can be granted as an interim relief.  Under the<br \/>\n\tcircumstances, the trial court has rightly refused to grant the<br \/>\n\tinterim relief, but the the learned appellate court has committed an<br \/>\n\terror  and\/or exceeded its jurisdiction in allowing the appeal and<br \/>\n\tgranting application Ex.5  and directing the parties to maintain<br \/>\n\tstatus-quo and therefore, the impugned order passed by the learned<br \/>\n\tappellate court requires to be quashed and set aside.\n<\/p>\n<p>For<br \/>\n\tthe reasons stated above, the petition succeeds. The impugned<br \/>\n\tjudgement and order dtd.30\/11\/2007 passed by the learned Presiding<br \/>\n\tOfficer, FTC No.2, Panchmahals at Godhara in Misc.Civil Appeal<br \/>\n\tNo.105 of 2007  is quashed and set aside and the  order<br \/>\n\tdtd.8\/10\/2007 passed by the  learned 3rd<br \/>\n\tAdditional Senior Civil Judge, Godhara below application Ex.5 in<br \/>\n\tRegular Civil Suit No.354 of 2007 is restored. Rule is made absolute<br \/>\n\taccordingly. In the facts and circumstances of the case, there shall<br \/>\n\tbe no order as to costs.\n<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t[M.R.\n<\/p>\n<p>SHAH, J.]<\/p>\n<p>rafik<\/p>\n<p>\t\t   \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\t\t   Top<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gujarat High Court State vs Narendrasinh on 28 July, 2008 Author: M.R.
