Judgment This writ petition is filed for a mandamus to set aside the tender notice dated 28.02.2011 issued by respondent No.2 in respect of works relating to sweeping, cleaning of rest rooms and drainage cleaning etc. in Dwaraka Bus Station Complex, Visakhapatnam. I have heard Sri Y.Sudhakar, learned counsel for the petitioner and perused the record. The petitioner is a registered association under the provisions of the Andhra Pradesh Societies Registration Act, 2001. It is averred that the petitioner association comprises 26 scavengers and 12 toilet cleaners and they are discharging their duties for the last twenty years at Dwaraka Bus Station Complex, Visakhapatnam. That the scavengers are engaged through a contractor, by name, Yamini Engineering and are being paid minimum wages as per the Minimum Wages Act, 1948 by the contractor. The petitioner association felt aggrieved by the impugned tender notice, which provided for cleaning of the bus stations, yards, platforms etc. through mechanised system. According to the petitioner association, as the contractor under whom its members are working does not have the required machinery and is not eligible for filing tender, its members are deprived of their livelihood by the changed policy of respondent No.1 Corporation. In my opinion, the method and manner in which the cleaning requires to be undertaken in the bus stations completely fall in the realm of the policy decision of the Corporation. This Court exercising its jurisdiction under Article 226 of the Constitution of India is not expected to interfere with such policy decisions unless they are patently arbitrary or in violation of statutory or constitutional rights of any of the citizens. By insisting on mechanised system of cleaning, respondent No.1 Corporation obviously wants to introduce advanced technology by replacing traditional and obsolete methods. While such methods certainly have an impact on employment, the State requires to address these problems. It is not the pleaded case of the petitioner that any policy evolved by the State governs the activities of respondent No.1 Corporation pertaining to this particular field. Though the petitioner placed reliance on G.O.Ms.No.30 MA dated 18.01.2000, a perusal of the same would show that it pertains to the municipalities and municipal corporations. Therefore, it cannot be said that the decision of respondent No.1 Corporation to introduce a mechanised system for cleaning the bus stations and toilets runs counter to the State’s policy or any of the statutory or constitutional provisions. Therefore, it cannot be said that the decision of respondent No.1 Corporation to introduce a mechanised system for cleaning the bus stations and toilets runs counter to the State’s policy or any of the statutory or constitutional provisions. In this view of the matter, no interference is called for with the impugned tender notice and the Writ Petition is accordingly dismissed. As a sequel to dismissal of the writ petition, W.P.M.P.No.8336 of 2011 filed by the petitioner for interim relief is dismissed as infructuous.
