Licence – A licence holder, if entitled to allotment of the auction platform adjacent to and/or in front of his shop as a matter of right – Held: To do business in the shop and to carry on business on the auction platform, are both different and distinct – Merely because a person is having a licence and doing business in a particular shop, he is not entitled to the auction platform as a matter of right and that too, in front of and/or adjacent to his shop – No such rule and/or regulation and/or guideline supporting such a claim was brought by the appellant to the notice of the High Court or even Supreme Court – In absence of any specific rule in favour of the appellant, right to claim the allotment just in front of his shop and/or adjacent to the same when the allotment in favour of respondent No. 5 was made as per the policy and guidelines, High Court rightly held against the appellant – Therefore, in the absence of any specific right in his favour, the appellant could not have prayed for the allotment of shed/auction platform just adjacent to and/or in front of his shop – Appeals lacks merit.
