Locus Standi in Fair Price Shop Allotment | Subsequent Allottee Cannot Challenge Revival of Original Allottee's Licence : Bombay HC
The Bombay High Court ruled that a subsequent allottee of a Fair Price Shop under reservation policy lacks the legal standing (locus standi) to challenge the revival of the original allottee’s licence, even if the subsequent allottee operated the shop in good faith for years. The decision reinforces that only parties directly aggrieved by an administrative action can seek judicial review, protecting the stability of public distribution schemes.
