stamp vendors in the district of Khordha since 2009. At that point of time, 58 numbers of stamp vendors were operating which has now been reduced to 48. In order to substantiate their case, the petitioner No.1 has annexed information obtained by him under the provisions of Right to Information Act, 2005 as at Annexure-2. He has also relied upon recommendation dated 30.05.2017 (Annexure-3) of District SubRegistrar, Khordha at Bhubaneswar for appointment of petitioner No.1-Mr.Papuna alias Purna Chandra Mohanty as Samp Vendor in that premises. It is his submission that although the provision of e-stamping has been introduced, still there is huge demand of stamp and stamp papers and if the petitioners are appointed at their respective places there will be no difficulty of the other stamp vendors to have a moderate income. It is further submitted that there is no adequate number of stamp vendors and requirement of their appointment is necessary so that public do not face inconvenience in obtaining stamp and stamped papers readily. Pursuant to the direction of this Court, the ADM, Khordha hurriedly disposed of representations of the petitioners without assigning any reason and without referring to any fact and figure, which resulted in grave miscarriage of justice. Hence, he prays for setting aside of the impugned order under Annexure-6.
