All these writ petitions have been brought with a common prayer to\n\n     quash the impugned order dated 26.11.2021 passed by the State\n\n     authority, therefore, it is decided by this common order.2.   The petitioners in all the cases are the Women Self Help Groups (SHG),\n\n     who are presently working under the scheme of ready to eat food\n\n     program under the contracts with respective authorities in which the\n\n     petitioners make purchase of the groceries, prepare the Take Home\n\n     Ration(THR) and supply the same to the concerned and, thus,\n\n     implementing     the ICDS Scheme in the public interest. The State\n\n     Government by the impugned order dated 26.11.2021 has ordered that\n\n     the present scheme of making provision for supply of nutritional food by\n\n     the way of Take Home Ration(THR) shall be dispensed with and the\n\n     manufacturing and supply of the Take Home Ration shall be taken over\n\n     by   the   respondent/Chhattisgarh     State    Agro   Seed   Agricultural\n\n     Development Corporation which shall be referred as respondent-Beej\n\n     Nigam. This order is under challenge in all the petitions.3.   It is submitted by the learned Senior Counsel Mr. Collin Gonsalves for\n\n     the petitioners in W.P.(C) No.455/2022, that the impugned order is\n\n     contrary to the direction of the Supreme Court in the case of PeoplesPage 125 of 186Union forCivil Liberties Vs. Union of Indiain W.P.(C) No.196 of 2001\n\ndated 7.10.2004, in which, it was held that there should be no\n\ncentralization of such project of providing nutritional food to the\n\nconcerned. The judgment of Supreme Court was clear on these terms,\n\nthat the supply of ready to eat food THR had to be decentralized. It is\n\nsubmitted that in the additional affidavit filed by the petitioner, it is\n\nmentioned that there are approximately 1645 SHGs which are\n\nmanufacturing    and   supplying   THR    in   the     State   consisting   of\n\napproximately 30,000 poor women. They all are registered with the\n\nGovernment and had been functioning for more than 10 years\n\ncontinuously. Each SHG has an official Bank account which is audited.All the SHGs function according to the Central Government guidelines in\n\nrespect of the quality of the food etc. The funding of these Integrated\n\nChild Development Services Scheme comes from the Central\n\nGovernment. The SHGs are currently paid at the rate of Rs.49.71 per kg\n\nTHR. The Government supplies the wheat to the SHGs at specified rate\n\nfor which they have to pay. All the other items required for the THR are\n\ndirectly purchased by the SHGs. The SHGs have made investments by\n\npurchasing necessary equipments for manufacturing              of the THR,\n\nnamely packaging materials, sealing and stamping equipments etc.The\n\nFood Safety Standard Authority India(FSSAI) also is issuing license to\n\nthe SHGs on monthly basis. The members of the SHGs have also been\n\ntrained by the FSSAI and granted certificates. All the SHGs have 10-15\n\nyears of experience and they had been performing their part in the\n\ncontract with full dedication, therefore, the ouster of all these SHGs from\n\nthe scheme is totally uncalled for. Although         there is a judgment of\n\nSupreme Court in the case ofShagun Mahila Udyogik SahakariPage 126 of 186Sanstha Maryadit Vs. State of Maharashtra and others, reported in\n\n     (2011) 9 SCC 340 in which the decision of the High Court was in favor\n\n     centralization for manufacturing of THR through automated system\n\n     which was upheld and supported by the Supreme Court, regarding\n\n     which there is a mention in the reply of the State and in the additional\n\n     affidavit filed by the State Authority.In the judgment of theShagun\n\n     Mahila(supra), the Supreme Court has very clearly ignored the\n\n     observations made and direction issued by the Supreme Court in the\n\n     Peoples Union forCivil Liberties (in short 'PUCL') case.This position has\n\n     been again reversed in favor of the PUCL order of 7.10.2004 by the\n\n     Supreme Court itself in the case ofVaishnorani Mahila Bachat Gat vs\n\n     State Of Maharashtra, reported in (2019) 15 SCC 780, in which, issue\n\n     was again raised as to whether contracts for the supply of such food for\n\n     Anganwadis should be given to local Mahila Mandals run along\n\n     democratic lines with local women participating or whether such\n\n     contracts ought to be given by the State to large corporates/contractors\n\n     and the same has been answered in favor of the Mahila and Self Help\n\n     Groups.4.   It is submitted by the learned Senior Advocate, that the respondent/State\n\n     does not deny these facts that the Mahila Mandals and the Self Help\n\n     Groups are functioning since more than 10 years in the State in the\n\n     scheme of supply of Ready to Eat food, THR and nutritional food in\n\n     accordance with guidelines of the Central Government. None of the\n\n     SHG's was ever given show cause notice until now.5.   It is submitted that the respondent Beej Nigam is to take over on the\n\n     basis of the impugned order. Respondent Beej Nigam which pretends toPage 127 of 186be a Government undertaking is in reality a company registered under\n\n     theCompanies Act, in which, the Beej Nigam owns minority shares,\n\n     therefore, the purpose of the impugned order is to privatize the\n\n     distribution of food under the scheme for supply of food to under\n\n     nourished children, pregnant mothers and lactating mothers. The\n\n     judgment of the Supreme Court inShagun Mahila(supra) has already\n\n     been disapproved by the Supreme Court inVaishnorani(supra) case. It\n\n     is further submitted that it has been proposed from the State authorities\n\n     that all the SHGs will be provided raw material through respondent Beej\n\n     Nigam regarding which the petitioners have objection. The learned\n\n     Advocate General had made a statement to this effect in WPC\n\n     No.4980/2021, which is mentioned in order dated 7.12.2021.The\n\n     petitioners disapprove of this proposition for the reasons that the policy\n\n     adopted by the State by the impugned order is clearly an act to privatize\n\n     the scheme of supply of nutritional food to the concerned and also in the\n\n     direction of centralizing the manufacturing and supply process which\n\n     are clearly against the directions of Supreme Court in the case of PUCL\n\n     and also in the case ofVaishnorani(supra). It is further submitted that theNational Food Security Act, 2013(in short 'the Act, 2013') clearly\n\n     provides underSections 4,5&6, that the scheme for supply of food\n\n     under the Integrated Child Development Services Scheme of Central\n\n     Government has to be implemented through local Anganwadis, hence,\n\n     the intention of the State Government seems to be to bypass these\n\n     provisions by implementing the impugned order, hence, the impugned\n\n     order is not sustainable, which may be quashed.6.   Learned Senior counsel Mr. Rajesh Pandey for petitioner in WPC\n\n     No.4998/2021 submits, that the Act, 2013 defines Anganwadi in SectionPage 128 of 1862(1), which means a child care and development centre set up under the\n\n     integrated Child Development Services Scheme of the Central\n\n     Government to render services covered underSection 4clause (a) of\n\n     sub-section (1) ofSection 5&6. According to the provisions of this Act\n\n     the State is only an implementing agency.Section 39of the Act further\n\n     provides Central Government to make rules regarding the schemes to\n\n     be implemented.Section 40of this Act although provides for the State\n\n     Government to make rules, in which, the State Government is not the\n\n     authority to frame rules with respect to the schemes on which the\n\n     Central Government has the power to frame rules, therefore, the State\n\n     Government cannot take any policy decision. It is submitted that Central\n\n     Government has been defined inSection 3(8)of the General Causes Act\n\n     and it has the powers to make rules by laws etc underSection 23of the\n\n     same Act. It is further submitted that the guidelines under the Rules,\n\n     2015 have not been superseded in the rule 2017. It is further submitted\n\n     that the Act 2013 provides for women empowerment and the State is\n\n     bound to make implementation of the same. The State has no power to\n\n     frame any policy. The impugned order is clearly a new policy by the\n\n     State to Centralize the manufacturing and supply of the THR and also to\n\n     handover the same to a contractor.7.   It is further submitted by learned Senior counsel Mr. Rajesh Pandey that\n\n     this is a question before this court, whether the impugned order is an\n\n     administrative order or a policy decision. It is submitted that such\n\n     decision / action must be in consonance withArticle 14of the\n\n     Constitution. Judicial quest in administrative matters has been to find the\n\n     right balance between the administrative discretion to decide matters\n\n     whether contractual or political in nature or issues of social policy. thus,Page 129 of 186they are not essentially justifiable and in case of any unfairness the\n\n     same can be set right by judicial review. Therefore, the impugned order\n\n     is subject to judicial review of this Court. This Court has to examine the\n\n     unreasonablness and arbitrariness of the impugned order. As it has\n\n     been held in the case ofMohinder Singh Gill and another Vs. Chief\n\n     Election Commissioner, New Delhi and others, 1978 (1) SCC 405. It\n\n     is submitted that to examine the material on which the impugned order is\n\n     passed calling of the records will be necessary. It is submitted that theArticle 256of the Constitution specifically provides, that the executive\n\n     power of the State has be exercised to ensure compliance with the laws\n\n     made by Parliament regarding which the Union has control over the\n\n     States underArticle 257of the Constitution, hence, State is only an\n\n     implementing agency and it cannot formulate any policy by itself. The\n\n     police framed by the State is non-statutory.8.   It is submitted that in the case of L. I. C. of India Vs. Consumer\n\n     Education and Research Center and others, [1995 (5) SCC 482] it\n\n     was held that public bodies have no absolute rights, when the matter is\n\n     subject to reasonableness.Article 14of the Constitution also includes\n\n     the right to livelihood, therefore, the impugned order is in violation of the\n\n     Act, 2013 and in violation of Constitution.In case ofE.P. Royappa Vs.\n\n     State of T.N. and another, 1974(4) SCC 3, it was held thatArticle 16embodies the fundamental guarantee andArticle 14ensures that there\n\n     shall be equality of opportunity for all citizens in matters relating to\n\n     employment.9.   Further reliance has been placed on the judgment of Hon'ble the\n\n     Supreme Court in the case ofMohd. Ghani and Others Vs. NationalPage 130 of 186Geophysical Research Institute and others, (1998) 8 SCC 458 and\n\n      on another judgment of Hon'ble the Supreme Court in the case ofIndian\n\n      Express Newspapers (Bombay) Pvt. Ltd. and others Vs. Union of\n\n      India and others, 1985 (1) SCC 640 : AIR 1986 SC 515.10.   It is submitted that in the case ofVaishnorani Mahila Bachat Gat Vs.\n\n      State of Maharashtra and others, (2019) 15 SCC 718, it is held that\n\n      necessity of inclusion of fortified nutrition and automated production has\n\n      been diluted, hence, PUCL directions still hold ground and are required\n\n      to be followed. For these reasons, the order is not sustainable.11.   Learned counsel for the petitioner, Mr. Mateen Siddiqui in WPC\n\n      No.5063/2022 submits that the judgment of Hon'ble the Supreme Court\n\n      in the matter of PUCL is very clear, that no contractor should be allowed\n\n      in the implementation of ICDS scheme. Therefore, the policy as\n\n      continuing cannot be reviewed or reconsidered. The impugned order is\n\n      in fact in contravention of PUCL order, as it is allowing the contractor\n\n      who is private party and partner of respondent Beej Nigam. Hence, the\n\n      order is unreasonable.12.   It is submitted that the guidelines issued by the Ministry of Women and\n\n      Child Development dated 13-01-2021 which is issued by the Central\n\n      Government clearly mentions, that at the village level there shall be\n\n      involvement of Aganwadi centers, village communities, Mothers Groups\n\n      and Panchayati Raj Institutions (Poshan Panchayats) which includes\n\n      women self help groups.13.   It is submitted that the respondents-State is taking pretext that the THR\n\n      provided by SHGs is not up to the mark and not fit for consumption\n\n      regarding which copy of the report is submitted as R/2-8, which does notPage 131 of 186bear any signature of any authority. Therefore, such a report cannot be\n\nreferred to. It is submitted that after enactment of the Act, 2013 the\n\nHon'ble Supreme Court order dated 7.10.2004 in PUCL case has not\n\nbecome ineffective. It is submitted that the impugned order in fact gives\n\nback door entry to the private contractor regarding which no transparent\n\nprocedure was adopted for selection of the contractor. It is submitted\n\nthat the report of National Nutritional Council which is filed as Annexure-A/1, mentions very clearly, that there shall be community participation by\n\nactive involvement of the community and this is where the role of SHGs\n\nis included. This policy also provides for empowerment of women, which\n\nhas been also in support of women self help groups. It is submitted that\n\nreply of the State has been countered in the rejoinder filed by the\n\npetitioner, in support of this submission, that the actual intention of the\n\nrespondent State is to privatise the supply chain of the ICDS scheme. It\n\nis submitted that the Share Holders Agreement Annexure-A/6, filed with\n\nrejoinder, very clearly mentions, that the agreement has taken place\n\nbetween Chhattisgarh Rajya Beej Evam Krishi Vikas Nigam and PBS\n\nFoods (P) Ltd. and Chhattisgarh Agro Food Corporation Limited, by\n\nwhich a Joint Venture Company has been established, in which the PBS\n\nFoods is the major share holder. Therefore, in the matter of\n\nimplementation of the impugned order, it will be the private contractor,\n\nwho shall take control on the supply system. It is submitted that the letter\n\ndated 17-07-2021 of the Secretary of Women and Child Development\n\nDepartment itself raises doubt upon the capability of Beej Nigam for\n\nimplementation of the scheme. It is further submitted that vide Annexure-A/10 of rejoinder, which is Performance Review relating to Government\n\ncompany, shows that performance of Madhya Pradesh State AgroPage 132 of 186Industries Development Corporation Limited was reviewed and the\n\nwhole review report shows that the experiment of production through the\n\nsaid corporation had failed. In the matter of SLP No.10654 of 2012 the\n\nSpecial Commissioner of the Supreme Court Mr. Harsh Mander has\n\nwritten a letter dated 31-10-2012 (Annexure-A/13 of rejoinder), in which\n\nhe has very clearly mentioned that there are large scale irregularities in\n\nsupply of supplementary nutrition in violation of the orders of the Hon'ble\n\nSupreme Court and that there is a nexus between politicians,\n\nbureaucrats and private contractors, leading to large-scale corruption\n\nand leakages. Therefore, if the impugned order is allowed to be\n\nimplemented, the result may be the same. The report submitted by Biraj\n\nPatnaik, Principal Adviser has similarly shown the concern about the\n\nnexus of politicians, bureaucrats and contractors. It is submitted that in\n\nsimilar case before the      M.P. High Court, betweenMahaabhuday\n\nSwechhik Sangathan Kalyan Aum Samajik Vikas Samiti and\n\nanother Vs. Government of Indiaand four others in W.P.\n\nNo.6995/2016, similar issue was raised and the Division Bench of\n\nMadhya Pradesh High Court has delivered the judgment directing the\n\nState to frame policy in view of theNational Food Security Actand also\n\nin view of the directions issued by Hon'ble the Supreme Court time to\n\ntime in the case ofPUCL Vs. Union of India(supra).Therefore,\n\njudgment of PUCL still holds ground and the directions of Hon'ble the\n\nSupreme Court in the earlier judgment has been reiterated in the case of\n\nPUCL Vs. Union of India (2007) 1 SCC 719.It is submitted that Hon'ble\n\nthe Supreme Court in the case ofVaishnorani Mahila Bachat Gat Vs.\n\nState of Maharashtra and others(supra), made reference to the earlier\n\norders of the Supreme Court inPUCLcase and also discussed thePage 133 of 186judgment ofShaguncase and it was held that the case was wrongly\n\n      represented in the matter of the extrusion technology, on which the\n\n      emphasis was given inShaguncase, was held to be diluted.Therefore,\n\n      this observation of Hon'ble the Supreme Court inVaishnorani Mahila\n\n      Bachat Gat Vs. State of Maharashtra and others(supra) is clearly\n\n      suggesting that the SHGs shall be the part of the supply chain, including\n\n      the manufacture of the Take Home Rations.The directions inPUCLcase, People's Union forCivil Liberties Vs. Union of India and\n\n      others, (2004) 12 SCC 104 had been again reiterated by Hon'ble the\n\n      Supreme Court in the case of People's Union forCivil Liberties Vs.\n\n      Union of India and others, reported in (2019) 19 SCC 411 and in the\n\n      case of People's Union forCivil Liberties Vs. Union of India and\n\n      others, reported in (2019) 19 SCC 401. Hence, the impugned order is\n\n      not sustainable.14.   Learned counsel for the petitioner in WPC No.5200/2021 submits the\n\n      arguments, challenging the impugned order and submits thatArticle\n\n      15(3)of the Constitution specifically provides that the State shall make\n\n      special provision for women and children. It is a case of employment of\n\n      women who are functioning through Women Self Help Groups, thus\n\n      creating opportunities for them to earn their livelihood. A national policy\n\n      for women has also been framed for similar purposes. It is submitted\n\n      that directions of Hon'ble the Supreme Court inPUCLcase still holds\n\n      ground and by the judgment of Hon'ble the Supreme Court latest inVaishnorani Mahila Bachat Gat Vs. State of Maharashtra and others(supra) in the year 2019, it is settled that the direction inPUCLcase is\n\n      still in force and is required to be implemented. Therefore, impugned\n\n      order Annexure-P/1 is unsustainable and is liable to be quashed.Page 134 of 18615.   Shri T.K. Jha, learned counsel representing petitioner in WPC No.\n\n      5147/2021 and other respective petitioners of the petitions filed by him,\n\n      submits that the State has to comply withArticle 15(3)of the Constitution\n\n      as it is a matter of livelihood of the women of the State who are engaged\n\n      in SHGs until now. The contract period of such women SHGs which are\n\n      still continuing is required to be protected. The State intends to\n\n      implement the ICDS scheme of supply of THR through the Beej Nigam,\n\n      whereas the reports are there to show that the Beej Nigam is not\n\n      competent in this respect. The SHGs are experienced in manufacturing\n\n      and supplying the THR since more than 10 years. Therefore, their\n\n      interest in the contract is required to be protected. The impugned order\n\n      is very clearly against the orders of Hon'ble the Supreme Court inPUCLcase and also inVaishnorani Mahila Bachat Gat Vs. State of\n\n      Maharashtra and others(supra) case, hence, not sustainable.16.   Learned Advocate General Shri S.C. Verma opposes the submissions\n\n      made by learned counsel for the petitioners in different petitions. It is\n\n      submitted that the contract period of almost all the petitioners in this\n\n      bunch of cases has expired by now and in fact these petitions have\n\n      been filed to seek relief for protection of the interest of the petitioners in\n\n      their contract. It is further submitted that the counsels for petitioners\n\n      have argued as if this is a case of Public Interest Litigation, however,\n\n      there is no challenge to the public policy, therefore, the petitions are not\n\n      maintainable.17.   It is submitted that in the ICDS scheme of the Central Government, there\n\n      is no mention of the village Self Help Groups. Similarly, in the judgment\n\n      of Hon'ble the Supreme Court inPUCL Vs. Union of India and others,Page 135 of 186(2004) 12 SCC 104 also there is mention of self help groups only as an\n\n      agency which may be utilized. It is submitted that the standards as have\n\n      been set for production of THR, cannot be met with by the women self\n\n      help groups. The provisions of the Act, 2013,Section 5and6speaks of\n\n      the implementing agency, the local aganwadi, which has no mention of\n\n      SHGs. The anganwadi has been defined inSection 2(1)of the Act, 2013\n\n      which is child care and development centre set-up under the Integrated\n\n      Child Development Services Scheme of the Central Government to\n\n      render services covered undersection 4,5. Therefore, the employees in\n\n      the anganwadi centers are the government employees, whereas the\n\n      SHGs are separate and private entity. The schedule II of the Act, 2013,\n\n      provides for nutritional standards, especially in the case of Take Home\n\n      Rations, the nutritional standard as provided can be ensured only by a\n\n      mechanized process. It is submitted thatSection 24of the Act, 2013\n\n      provides that it is the State Government which shall be responsible for\n\n      implementation and monitoring of schemes of the Central Government.Therefore, being the implementing agency, it shall be the State\n\n      Government which shall decide the manner and method of the\n\n      implementation of this scheme.18.   It is submitted that thePUCLcase was initiated in WPC No.196/2001 in\n\n      the year 2001, at the time when there was no enacted law, rule or\n\n      procedure for implementation of ICDS scheme, therefore, Hon'ble the\n\n      Supreme Court has monitored for the implementation of ICDS scheme\n\n      in effective manner. The case was finally listed before Hon'ble the\n\n      Supreme Court on 10-02-2017, in which it was ordered, that in view of\n\n      the passage of the Act, 2013, nothing further survives in the petition and\n\n      therefore the same was disposed off and the petitioner was grantedPage 136 of 186liberty to file fresh petition in case he has any grievance regarding the\n\n      implementation of the Act, 2013. Hence, on this basis none of the\n\n      previous orders passed by Hon'ble the Supreme Court in said cases are\n\n      surviving for implementation.In the revised Nutritional and Feeding\n\n      Norms for Supplementary Nutrition in ICDS Scheme, it was the Central\n\n      Government which issued guidelines on 24 February, 2009 Annexure-R-2 which clearly mentions in clause 7 of the said guidelines that the\n\n      supplementary food may be fortified with essential micronutrients and\n\n      clause 8 provides that Food and Nutrition Board (FNB) should ensure\n\n      the quality of supplementary nutrition and the said should conform to the\n\n      prescribed standards laid down under thePrevention of Food\n\n      Adulteration Actand the Integrated Food Law to ensure consistent\n\n      quality and nutritive value of the nutrition per serving (as per Nutritional\n\n      Norms).19.   It is submitted that in submission of the petitioners side, concern has\n\n      been shown regarding the fair implementation of the scheme on the\n\n      basis of the reports that have been submitted by Mr. Biraj Patnaik and\n\n      Mr. Harsh Mander, the same shall be met with by the special provisions\n\n      underSections 14&15of the Act, 2013, which provides for redressal of\n\n      grievance mechanism, Vigilance Committee and further the scheme is\n\n      yet to be implemented in accordance with the impugned order.Therefore, the concern shown is anticipated without any footing. It is\n\n      submitted that theVaishnorani Mahila Bachat Gat Vs. State of\n\n      Maharashtra and otherscase (supra) is not applicable on the basis of\n\n      subsequent developments that have taken place, as the Notification of\n\n      2017 has been denotified by new notification dated 29-06-2021 and that\n\n      guidelines dated 13-01-2021 shall be implemented henceforth and thePage 137 of 186guidelines 13-01-2021 are very specific and in consonance with the Act,\n\n      2013. Clause 1 of these guidelines provide for Quality Assurance which\n\n      is only possible through the laboratories. Take Home Ration shall be\n\n      tested    by   FSSAI   owned/registered/empaneled/    NABL accredited\n\n      laboratories and the same cannot be ensured if the implementation is\n\n      made through SHGs. Clause II of the same guidelines mentions of the\n\n      Supply-Chain Management by which the State has the responsibility to\n\n      ensure uninterrupted supply to the last mile through functionaries, which\n\n      are compliant with FSSAI registration, licencing process for entities\n\n      involved in manufacture, storage and distribution of food safety and\n\n      hygiene, that does not mention about the involvement of the SHGs.20.   It is    further submitted that the judgment ofPUCLcase reported in\n\n      (2019) 15 SCC 748 is a report of earlier order passed in the year 2013\n\n      in WPC No.196/2001.Similarly, thePUCLcase, reported in (2019) 19\n\n      SCC 401 was decided in the year 2014, before the final order of 2017 in\n\n      WPC No.196/2001 and the guidelines of 2021. It is further submitted\n\n      that the report of the UNICEF also requires reference mentioning the\n\n      issue related to the SHGs, finding gross compromise with THR quality,\n\n      finding that the SHGs have shortage of equipment, lack of drying\n\n      machines, weighing machines etc. and also that the SHGs has financial\n\n      issues. Therefore, on the basis of this report of UNICEF it can be said\n\n      that process of manufacturing and supply of THR through SHGs was not\n\n      a complete success.It is submitted that counsels for the petitioners\n\n      made submissions beyond pleadings, therefore, the same cannot be\n\n      considered while deciding these writ petitions, regarding which reliance\n\n      has been placed on the judgments of Hon'ble the Supreme Court in the\n\n      case ofUnion of India Vs. R. Bhusal, (2006) 6 SCC 36 and in the casePage 138 of 186ofV.K. Majotra Vs. Union of India and others, (2003) 8 SCC 40.21.   It is further submitted by learned Advocate General, that allegations\n\n      against respondent Beej Nigam are totally baseless. Earlier the THR\n\n      was manufactured by the M.P. Agro Food Corporation Ltd. through its\n\n      manufacturing plant situated in Raigarh. The manufacturing in that plant\n\n      was closed on 2001, however, a decision was taken in the year 2004\n\n      regarding which letter dated 07-11-2004 is filed with reply, which\n\n      mentions about reopening of the manufacturing plant in Raigarh. The\n\n      State Government granted sanction by letter dated 21-07-2004, directing\n\n      publication of Notice inviting tenders for a joint venture. Notice was\n\n      published, on which the bids were submitted by concerned. Therefore, it\n\n      is not a case of back door entry as alleged in the submissions of the\n\n      petitioners counsels. Subsequent to which respondent Beej Nigam has\n\n      submitted proposal for manufacturing THR through the plants at\n\n      Raigarh. It is further submitted that in the supply chain, there shall be\n\n      involvement of SHGs and at present it is a proposal of the State to offer\n\n      Rs.13.5 per kg. of THR to the SHGs for performing their part. Therefore,\n\n      interest of the SHGs is protected in the current scheme also, which shall\n\n      come into force after implementation of the impugned order. Hence, the\n\n      petitions are without any substance which may be dismissed.22.   Mr. Ravindra Shrivastava, learned Senior Counsel appearing on behalf\n\n      of respondent - C.G. Beej Evam Krishi Vikas Nigam submits that the\n\n      targeted group of ICDS scheme are the beneficiaries and not for the\n\n      providers, thus the ICDS is not a guarantee for employment. None of the\n\n      Supreme Court judgments ensures the employment guarantee for the\n\n      self help groups. Quality nourishment has to be the prime concern andPage 139 of 186by the change of time, the advancement has to be promoted and old\n\n      system, which is regressive has to be given up. It is no doubt, the\n\n      scheme is of Central Government. The latest guidelines of 13 th January,\n\n      2021 does not provide for the participation of SHGs and also does not\n\n      bar the participation of a Company. The Rules, 2017 has been de-notified, which has never been challenged and therefore, the guidelines\n\n      dated 13.01.2021 are valid and issued by the appropriate authority.23.   It is submitted that in Rules, 2017, there is only one reference to SHGs\n\n      in Rule - 9 regarding engagement of SHGs with respect to supply and\n\n      procurement of supplementary nutrition through them and there is no\n\n      reference to manufacture of THR by the SHGs.Similarly in the National\n\n      Food Security Act, 2013, again there is no reference of SHGs or Mahila\n\n      Mandal. This direction in the PUCL order of 7.10.2004 has come to an\n\n      end after enactment of the Act, 2013.24.   It is submitted that the partner of C.G. Beej Evam Krishi Vikas Nigam,\n\n      the C.G. Agro Food Corporation Limited, is successor of M.P. Agro Food\n\n      Corporation Limited. A joint venture agreement has taken place between\n\n      C.G. Beej Evam Krishi Vikas Nigam Beej, C.G. Agro Food Corporation\n\n      Limited and PBS Food Private Limited in the year 2012. The inclusion of\n\n      PBS Food Private Limited in this agreement has taken place through a\n\n      transparent process by publication of advertisement, submission of bids\n\n      and that PBS Food was the highest bidder, whose bid was accepted and\n\n      thus it was made a party to this agreement. It is submitted that C.G.\n\n      Agro Food Corporation Limited is also a interested party in this case,\n\n      however, it has not been made a party in any of the petitions.Page 140 of 18625.   It is submitted that ICDS programe was initiated in the year 1975,\n\n      however,   there   was    no   legislation   or   rules   present   for   the\n\n      implementation, therefore, the same was taken notice of by the\n\n      Supreme Court in thePUCLcase registered as W.P.C. No. 196 of 2001,\n\n      in which the first order was passed on 07.10.2004 issuing direction to\n\n      ensure compliance of the scheme.The reporting ofPUCLcase (2004)\n\n      (12) SCC 104 clearly mentions that it was Record of Proceedings,\n\n      therefore, the order passed was not a judgment or adjudication in any\n\n      respect. The Supreme Court continued monitoring the scheme and then\n\n      the the Act, 2013 was enacted.This enactment was taken notice of by\n\n      the Supreme Court in the same WPC No.196 of 2001 betweenPUCL\n\n      Vs. Union of India, in order dated 10.02.2017 in Record of Proceedings,\n\n      in which it is clearly observed that in view of the passage of the Act,\n\n      2013, nothing further survived in the petition, therefore, the same was\n\n      disposed off. Further the petitioner was granted opportunity to file a fresh\n\n      petition in case, he has grievances with regard to implementation or\n\n      otherwise of the Act, 2013. Thus with the disposal of writ petition No.196\n\n      of 2001, all the directions and orders that were earlier passed by the\n\n      Supreme Court in the same case do not survive and there is no specific\n\n      order in the order 10.02.2017, to extend the order dated 07.10.2004. It\n\n      is submitted that the principle is very clear that all the interim orders\n\n      merge with the final order of the case.Reliance is placed on the\n\n      judgment in case ofPrem Chandra Aggarwal & Anr. Vs. Uttar\n\n      Pradesh Financial Corporation & Ors., reported in (2009) 11 SCC\n\n      479, Kanwar Singh Saini Vs. HighCourt of Delhi, reported in (2012) 4\n\n      SCC 307 and Amarjeet Singh Vs. Devi Ratan, reported in (2010) 1\n\n      SCC 417.Page 141 of 18626.   It is further submitted by the learned Sr. Counsel appearing on behalf of\n\n      respondent - C.G. Beej Evam Krishi Vikas Nigam, that present petitions\n\n      are not Public Interest Litigation. All the petitioners have preferred these\n\n      petitions in personal capacity for enforcement of their rights in the\n\n      contract present between them and the respective authorities.Therefore, apart from the contract, the petitioners have no legal rights to\n\n      claim any relief. There may be interest of the petitioners present, but the\n\n      same is not enforceable, it is only legal right, which is enforceable. It is\n\n      also submitted that the impugned order is an executive order. Judicial\n\n      review of such order is permissible only, when the law is violated or that\n\n      the order passed is arbitrary or it shocks the conscience of the Court.27.   It is submitted that in the judgment of Allahabad High Court in case ofRadhey Shyam Vs. State of U.P., Thru. Prin. Secy., Food and Civil\n\n      Supplies Lucknow, in Writ (C) No. 22891 of 2019, decided on\n\n      16.02.2022, it was observed that the dealer of fair price shop does not\n\n      have a vested right to carry on the license of fair price shop. The\n\n      licensee is an agent of the Government. Similarly it was held by the\n\n      Supreme Court in case of Sarkari Sasta Anaj Vikreta Sangh & Ors.Vs. State of Madhya Pradesh & Ors, reported in (1981) 4 SCC 471, in\n\n      which it was held that fundamental rights of traders like the petitioners is\n\n      to carry on business and thus is not affected but no one can claim a right\n\n      to run a fair price shop as an agent of the government, hence, the\n\n      petitioners have worked only as agents of the Government and thus they\n\n      can not claim any right, to continue as agent of the State Government.28.   It is further submitted that a contract can not be enforced through writ\n\n      remedy, regarding which reliance is placed on the judgment of SupremePage 142 of 186Court in case of Divisional Forest Officer Vs. Bishwanath Tea Co.Ltd., reported in (1981) 3 SCC 238, Radhakrishna Agarwal Vs. State\n\n      of Bihar, reported in (1977) 3 SCC 457, Banchhanidhi Rat Vs. State of\n\n      Orissa, reported in (1972) 4 SCC 781, State of Gujrat Vs. M.P. Shah\n\n      Charitable Trust, reported in (1994) 3 SCC 552 and in case ofK.K.\n\n      Saksena Vs. International Commissionon Irrigation & Drainage,\n\n      reported in (2015) 4 SCC 670.29.   It is submitted that the petitioners have filed rejoinders and additional\n\n      affidavits during the pendency of writ petitions, which were not part of\n\n      earlier pleadings, such additional pleadings and affidavits requires no\n\n      reference regarding which there is clear decision of the Supreme Court\n\n      in case ofMunicipal Corporation of the City of Jabalpur Vs. State of\n\n      Madhya Pradesh, reported in (1963) 2 SCR 135 and the judgment of\n\n      Delhi High Court in case ofAnant Construction Vs. Ram Niwas,\n\n      reported in (1994) 31 DRJ 205.30.   It is submitted that the petitioners do not have any legal right, which is\n\n      judicially enforceable under the writ jurisdiction of the High Court underArticle 226of the Constitution of India. It is submitted that the order\n\n      dated 07.10.2004 was an order passed in record of proceedings,\n\n      therefore, not a judgment. The Supreme Court felt concerned on the\n\n      basis of the report of the Commissioners, wherein it was reported that\n\n      there was problem of using contractors for procurement and there were\n\n      suggestions in the reports of the Commissioners that the implementation\n\n      of the ICDS scheme should be done through agencies and officers at\n\n      government level. Therefore, use of contractors were restricted in the\n\n      matter of supply of nutrition foods and it was ordered that preference bePage 143 of 186given to Anganbadis and that the ICDS funds shall be spent by making\n\n      use of village community, Self Help Groups and Mahila Mandals for\n\n      buying of grains and preparation of meals, which was an interim\n\n      arrangement. The judgment of Supreme Court inShagun Mahila\n\n      Udyogik Sahakari Sanstha Maryadit Vs. State of Maharashtra & Ors.(supra), is proper judgment for adjudicating the dispute present and the\n\n      mention of the Take Home Ration came in it for the first time. While\n\n      deciding this case, the Supreme Court has taken notice of the earlier\n\n      order dated 07.10.2004 inPUCLcase, it was observed by the Supreme\n\n      Court that according to the revised guidelines of 2009, there is major\n\n      stress on micronutrient fortification of the THR, it required "expert\n\n      technical supervision' and that it can be achieved only by using accurate\n\n      machines with precision in measuring the quantity in miligrams.Therefore, there is necessity to comply with all the specifications in the\n\n      guidelineslaid down bythe government in its norms. Therefore, the\n\n      Court held that the production of THR through automated machines was\n\n      proper.31.   It is submitted thatVaishnoranicase (supra) is a judgment of\n\n      Coordinate Bench and therefore, it has not overruled the judgment inShagun Mahila Udyogik Sahkari Sanstha Maryaditcase. There is only\n\n      one observation of the Court in the judgment, that in view of the\n\n      clarification made by the Government of India, use of extrusion\n\n      technology was held to be diluted.It is submitted that the judgment of\n\n      Supreme Court inPUCLcase, guidelines and the Rules, 2017 that were\n\n      present, were taken into consideration holding that the tender conditions\n\n      were arbitrary and thus there is no order in favour of SHGs.Page 144 of 18632.   It is submitted that the guidelines of Government of India, Ministry of\n\n      Woman and Child Development dated 24.02.2009, provided for specific\n\n      norms and standard for manufacture of Take Home Ration in the form of\n\n      Micronutrient Fortified Food and/or Eneregy-dense Food as 'ICDS Food\n\n      Supplement', as the same is meant for a child under three years. The\n\n      appointment of SHGs as an agency is strictly a decision of the State and\n\n      the State has authority to change the agency. The fresh guidelines dated\n\n      13.1.2021 has been issued by the Ministry of Women and Child\n\n      Development. Under the heading of the supply chain process in the\n\n      State, it is provided that it must be made transparent for functionaries to\n\n      ensure uninterrupted supply to the last mile, which are compliant with\n\n      FSSAI registration licensing process for entities involved in manufacture,\n\n      storage and distribution of food to ensure food safety and hygiene,\n\n      which does not mention of SHGs. This guidelines framed by the Central\n\n      Government has a statutory force as it has been issued in exercise of\n\n      powers underSection 38of the Act, 2013. It is further submitted that the\n\n      learned Advocate General, representing the State has made submission\n\n      that the interest of the SHGs shall be taken care of.33.   The learned Senior counsel for the respondent - C.G. Beej Evam Krishi\n\n      Vikas Nigam submits that the statement and object of the Act, 2013\n\n      mentions only about the targeted beneficiaries and not for employment\n\n      of SHGs and there is no reference of SHGs in the whole Act, 2013\n\n      therefore, the SHGs are not a recognized entity in the whole scheme.34.   It is submitted that performance of SHGs in the implementation of ICDS\n\n      scheme was not found satisfactory in the report of UNICEF, therefore,\n\n      the State having such authority, took the decision, which was a cabinetPage 145 of 186decision, on the basis of which impugned order (Annexure P-1) was\n\n      passed. It is reiterated, that the respondent - C.G. Beej Evam Krishi\n\n      Vikas Nigam is not private entity on the contrary, it is the arm of the\n\n      government which has selected the partners for manufacturing Take\n\n      Home Rations in the mechanised plant. The policy to allow the private\n\n      partners is not against any of the law and further C.G. Beej Evam Krishi\n\n      Vikas Nigam has entered into a new agreement on 15.03.2022. It is\n\n      submitted that the adoption of new technology is necessary to meet the\n\n      norms and standards fixed, which is a paradigm shift in addressing the\n\n      problem of food security.35.   It is further submitted by the learned counsel for the respondent - C.G.\n\n      Beej Evam Krishi Vikas Nigam, that the affidavit has been submitted by\n\n      the Central Government, which is in support of the decision taken by the\n\n      State Government (Annexure P-1). The impugned order does not violate\n\n      either the Act, 2013 or the guidelines. It is submitted thatVaishnoranicase does not come with legal mandate and as it does not lay down any\n\n      principle of law creating right in favour of the SHGs.In case ofState of\n\n      Orissa Vs. Sudhansu Sekhar Misra & Ors, reported in (1968) 2 SCR\n\n      154, it was held that a decision is only an authority for what it actually\n\n      decides. What is of the essence in a decision is its ratio. The observation\n\n      in the judgment can not be followed. In case of Union of India & Ors.Vs. Dhanwanti Devi & Ors., reported in (1996) 6 SCC 44, it was again\n\n      held that only the essence of the decision and its ratio is binding and the\n\n      other observation found there in have no binding effect. Reliance has\n\n      also been placed on the another judgment in case ofState of Orissa\n\n      Vs. Md. Illiyas, reported in (2006) 1 SCC 275. In case of Vaishnorani,\n\n      the Court has examined only the tender condition and there is noPage 146 of 186mandate in favour of the SHGs.36.   It is submitted that any policy decision taken by the State can not be\n\n      interfered with in an ordinary course, a Court can not interfere with the\n\n      decision but it can interfere with the decision making process on the\n\n      ground of malafides, unreasonableness or arbitrariness. The Court\n\n      should exercise its discretionary power only in furtherance of\n\n      overwhelming public interest.37.   Reliance has also been placed on the judgment of Supreme Court in\n\n      case ofIndian Ex Servicemen Movement and Others Vs. Union of\n\n      India & Ors., reported in 2022 SCC OnLine SC 333, Afcon\n\n      Infrastructure Ltd. Nagpur Metro Rail Corporation Ltd, reported in\n\n      (2016) 16 SCC 818, Parisons Agrotech (P) Ltd. Vs. Union of India,\n\n      reported in (2015) 9 SCC 657, Directorate of Film Festivals Vs.\n\n      Gaurav Ashwin Jain, reported in (2007) 4 SCC 737, Federation of Rly\n\n      Officers Assn. Vs. Union of India, reported in (2003) 4 SCC 289.38.   It is again submitted that recent policy of the Central Government as well\n\n      as of State Government regarding Public Private Partnership has been\n\n      acknowledged by the Supreme Court in case of Mahanadi Coal Fields\n\n      Limited & Anr. Vs. Mathias Oram and Ors., reported in (2010) 11 SCC269. Reliance has also been placed in case ofSooraram Pratap Reddy\n\n      & Ors. Vs. District Collector, Ranga Reddy District and Ors.,\n\n      reported in (2008) (9) SCC 552. It is submitted that the impugned order\n\n      is in accordance with the law, rules and guidelines, therefore, it can not\n\n      be said to be arbitrary in any sense, therefore, the impugned order is\n\n      unassailable and hence, sustainable. Petitions be dismissed.Page 147 of 18639.   Mr. Ramakant Mishra, ASG representing Union of India adopts the\n\n      arguments advanced by the learned Advocate General and also by the\n\n      Senior Counsel Mr. Ravindra Shrivastava, representing the respondent -C.G. Beej Evam Krishi Vikas Nigam.40.   Learned Sr. Counsel Mr. Collin Gonsalves makes submission in rebuttal.It is submitted that core issue was decentralization, as ordered by the\n\n      Supreme Court inPUCLcase dated 7.10.2004. The Supreme Court has\n\n      continued on this stand.Judgment inVaishnoranicase is in favour of\n\n      continuing the old system. Therefore, the respondents authorities are\n\n      bound to follow the directions of Supreme Court given in the various\n\n      judgments. It is submitted that the Act, 2013 mentions only about\n\n      Anganbadi as an agent in implementing the scheme and does not speak\n\n      of involvement of any private contractor. The guidelines that has been\n\n      issued by the Central Government dated 13.01.2021 can not prevail\n\n      over the judgment of Supreme Court. The SHGs had been working in\n\n      the field since about more than 10 years, who are well equipped and\n\n      well trained and also received certificate of FSSAI from time to time and\n\n      who are fully competent to meet all the standards, which have been\n\n      fixed in production of THR, therefore, it is the only SHGs, who have to\n\n      be engaged in procurement and distribution of THR. The State\n\n      Government can not take a policy decision against the specific\n\n      guidelines of the Supreme Court. It is submitted that whole case of the\n\n      respondent- C.G. Beej Evam Krishi Vikas Nigam represents drive for\n\n      privatization.It was observed in theVaishnoranicase, that it would be\n\n      appropriate to form groups of the smaller area such as at Panchayat or\n\n      group of panchayats, etc within the district so that the real intention\n\n      behind the policy is fulfilled in its real sense and supply should bePage 148 of 186decentralized as much as possible as it is not for the big\n\n      players/industrialists in the field to cater to the needs of the scheme.Therefore, the petitioners are entitled for relief.41.   Mr. Rajesh Pandey, Sr. Counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioners\n\n      submits in rebuttal, that the Annexure P-1 is an administrative order. The\n\n      guidelines do not have any statutory effect. It is submitted that in case ofU.P. Bhoodan Yagna Samiti, U.P. Vs. Brajkishore And Ors., reported\n\n      in 1988 (4) SCC 274, the Supreme Court has observed on the principles\n\n      of interpretation of the statute.InVaishnoranicase, the Supreme Court\n\n      has given a special emphasis for involvement of the local entities and to\n\n      exclude the big players/industrialists. Therefore, the interest of several\n\n      SHGs can not be sacrificed for the interest of one C.G. Beej Evam Krishi\n\n      Vikas Nigam.42.   It is submitted that the guidelines of Central Government dated\n\n      13.01.2021, have not specifically excluded the SHGs, therefore, their\n\n      legal right is existing. Mention of village community in the above\n\n      guidelines at the village level includes Self Help Groups. Further the\n\n      micronutrient fortification is also not necessary, because the guideline of\n\n      13.1.2021 provides for nourishment through Poshan Vatikas. It is\n\n      submitted that the Supreme Court has observed in theVaishnoranicase\n\n      that the decision in theShaguncase was obtained by misleading the\n\n      Court and the judgment inVaishnoranicase is in consonance with the\n\n      direction of the Supreme Court inPUCLcase.43.   It is submitted that in case ofPUCL Vs. Union of India, reported in\n\n      2003 (4) SCC 399, it was observed by the Supreme Court that basic\n\n      principle of the rule of law is the exercise of power by the executive orPage 149 of 186any other authority must be in accordance with law, which shall be\n\n      subject to judicial review.It is further submitted that the interim order do\n\n      not merge with the final orders as the orders were passed by the\n\n      Supreme Court in thePUCLcase independently, which were passed at\n\n      the time while the Supreme Court was monitoring the ICDS scheme\n\n      from 2001 to 2017. It is also submitted that there are allegations against\n\n      Beej Evam Krishi Vikas Nigam, which requires an enquiry. Hence, Beej\n\n      Evam Krishi Vikas Nigam is not fit to be entrusted with the work of THR,\n\n      manufacture. The petitioners are entitled for relief.44.   Mr. Mateen Siddiqui, learned counsel for the petitioner in W.P.(C) No.\n\n      5063 of 2021, makes submission in rebuttal, that SHGs have never\n\n      violated the guidelines or the law enacted until now. None of the\n\n      petitioners were ever served with a show cause notice so far. The\n\n      Supreme Court had directed inPUCLcase to decentralize the supply\n\n      mechanism in the ICDS scheme. According to Black's law dictionary,\n\n      supply includes manufacturing. It is submitted that the respondent\n\n      counsel have relied upon the UNICEF report regarding shortcomings,\n\n      but the State authorities have not made any effort to work on the\n\n      recommendation made by the UNICEF. It is submitted that the decision\n\n      taken by the impugned order is clearly an act of privatization to oust the\n\n      SHGs, who are presently engaged in the implementation of ICDS\n\n      scheme. All the SHGs have the training, expertise and experience to\n\n      meet all the standard     that are present for production of THR. It is\n\n      submitted that the respondent- Beej Evam Krishi Vikas Nigam              has\n\n      expressed concern about investment made by it, but no concern is being\n\n      shown to the investment that has been made by the various SHGs. The\n\n      case law on which the respondent counsel have placed reliance are notPage 150 of 186applicable.It is submitted thatVaishnoranicase holds the field and\n\n      advances the decision of the Supreme Court inPUCLcase.Therefore,\n\n      the orders inPUCLcase and Vaishnorani is required to be followed. On\n\n      this basis, the impugned order is not sustainable. The petitions be\n\n      allowed.45.   The Counsels representing the remaining petitioners in other petitions\n\n      have adopted the arguments of learned Counsels who have argued in\n\n      their petitions.46.   I have heard the learned counsel for the parties at length and perused\n\n      the documents present on record.47.   The first question for consideration is whether the directions of Supreme\n\n      Court in case ofPUCL Vs. Union of Indiadated 7.10.2004 reported in\n\n      (2004) 12 SCC 104 still holds the field. Heading of the reporting shows\n\n      it to be a Record of Proceeding. The Supreme Court considered on the\n\n      report of the Commissioners Dr. N.C. Saxena and Mr. N.R. Shankaran.It was observed that the report mentions attempt to centralize the\n\n      procurement in some of the States which had many fallouts. The report\n\n      mentioned about the problem of using contractors for procurement and it\n\n      was suggested that it should be done by agencies and Officers at the\n\n      Government level and it was on this basis, the directions were issued of\n\n      which direction No.3 in paragraph-10 is relevant for this case, which is\n\n      as follows:-"10.3.    Contractor shall not be used for supply\n                 of nutrition in Anganwadis and preferably ICDS\n                 funds shall be spent by making use of the village\n                 communities Self Help Groups and Mahila\n                 Mandals for buying of grains and preparation ofPage 151 of 186meals."48.   This order does not mention of 'Take Home Rations'. This Writ Petition\n\n      (Civil) No.196 of 2001 was kept alive for monitoring the Integrated Child\n\n      Development Scheme (ICDS) and the Supreme Court has passed\n\n      orders time to time.49.   The Ministry of Women and Child Development, Government of India\n\n      (MoWCD)     issued     a    Revised   Nutritional   Feeding   norms   for\n\n      supplementary nutrition in ICDS scheme which was dated 24.02.2009.These guidelines specified that children in the age group of 6 months to\n\n      3 years shall be provided with Infant Milk Substitutes which should be\n\n      along with breast feeding, complimentary feeding to children from the\n\n      age of six months must be started. Provision has been made for food\n\n      supplement having 500 calorie of energy and 12-15 gm protein per child\n\n      per day. It was mentioned in the guidelines that the 'Take Home Ration'\n\n      (THR) should be given in the form that is palatable to the child and is\n\n      seen as food to be exclusively consumed by the child instead of the\n\n      entire family. The THR should be given in the form of Micro Nutrient\n\n      Fortified Food and/or Energy Dense Food that may be marked as 'ICDS\n\n      Food Supplement'. The emphasis was to cater to the needs of under\n\n      nourished and under weight children. These guidelines also provide for\n\n      food supplement of 600 calories of energy and 18-20gm protein for\n\n      pregnant women and lactating mothers in the form of Micro Nutrient\n\n      Fortified Food and/or Energy-dense Food as THR.50.   In subsequent development, the Government of Maharashtra awarded\n\n      contracts to private parties. This was challenged by Shagun Mahila\n\n      Udyogik Sahakari Sanstha Maryadit in the High Court of judicature ofPage 152 of 186Bombay at Nagpur Bench by filing a writ petition which was dismissed.The matter came up before the Supreme Court and inParagraph-9 of\n\nShagun Mahila Udyogik Sahakari Sanstha Maryadit's case (supra)\n\nthe Hon'ble Supreme Court observed about the directions given by it in\n\ncase of Peoples Union forCivil Liberties(supra) directing non-involvement of the Contractors in implementation of the Scheme and\n\nobserved in paragraph No.12, 13, 47, 53 & 54 as under:-"12.        The Central Government found that the\n        original ICDS Scheme was insufficient to cater to the\n        nutritional demands of the categories of children and\n        women noticed above. The Central Government,\n        therefore, conducted further surveys through experts\n        which recommended that the gap in the calories norms\n        between the Recommended Dietary Allowance (in\n        short `RDA') and the Actual Dietary Intake (in short\n        `ADI') be filled. Therefore, the Central Government, in\n        consultation with its experts, published a revised\n        nutritional   and        feeding    norm       for    supplementary\n        nutrition in ICDS Scheme on 24th February, 2009. The\n        revised norms required that the supplementary food\n        may be fortified with essential micro nutrients with 50%\n        of RDA level per beneficiary per day.13.         These revised norms were filed before this\n        Court along with an affidavit dated 2nd March, 2009 by\n        the Central Government highlighting the various factors\n        including the recommendations received from the Task\n        Force constituted by the Central Government. Upon\n        consideration       of     the     affidavit     of    the   Central\n        Government, this Court passed a further order on 22nd\n        April, 2009. In Paragraph 4 and 5, it was observed as\n        follows:-"4. The Revised Nutritional and Feeding Norms forPage 153 of 186SNP in ICDS Scheme circulated vide letter no.5-\n            9/2005/ND/Tech.(Vol. II) dated 24.02.2009 states\n            that children in the age group of 6 months to 3\n            years must be entitled to food supplement of 500\n            calorie of energy and 12-15 gm. of protein per\n            child per day in the form of take home ration\n            (THR). For the age group of 3-6 years, food\n            supplement of 500 calories of energy and 12-15\n            gm of protein per child must be made available at\n            the Anganwadi Centers in the form of a hot\n            cooked meal and a morning snack for severely\n            underweight children in the age group of 6 months\n            to 6 years, an additional 300 calories of energy\n            and 8-10 gm of protein would be given as THR.For pregnant and lactating mothers, a food\n            supplement of 600 calories of energy and 18-20\n            gm of protein per beneficiary per day would be\n            provided as THR.5.    Letter     No.5-9/2005/ND/Tech       (Vol.   II)   dated\n            24.02.2009      has been annexed to the affidavit\n            dated 2nd March, 2009 filed by the Union of India.\n            It is directed that norms indicated in the said letter\n            addressed to all the State Government sand\n            Union Territories have to be implemented forthwith\n            and the respective States/UTs would make\n            requisite    financial   allocation   and     undertake\n            necessary arrangements to comply with the\n            stipulation contained in the said letter."47.      We have considered the submissions made by the\n      learned counsel for the parties. We are of the\n      considered opinion that the writ petition has been\n      rightly dismissed by the High Court after examination\n      of the entire issue. The High Court concluded that the\n      appellant failed to satisfy the eligibility criteria as\n      contained in condition 6, as noticed earlier. ThePage 154 of 186aforesaid conditon requires that the tenderer should\n               have produced the specified food for the last three\n               consecutive       years    and     supplied       the    same    to\n               Anganwadi's in ICDS. Since the appellant did not\n               possess a suitable manufacturing unit, the appellant\n               would be rendered ineligible on this score alone.53. We also find substance in the submission of Mr. C.U.\n               Singh and Mr. Patwalia that EOI had deliberately\n               stressed on the need of precise measurements for the\n               preparation of the food. The supplier is required to\n               provide a fine mix of all kinds of ingredients including\n               the revised intake of proteins and calories to the\n               precise level. In fact, the level of precision is\n               earmarked for each kind of food. The concept behind\n               the same can not be permitted to be demonized by\n               referring to it as food prepared by "automated\n               machines". The procedure adopted is necessary to\n               ensure that there is "zero infection" in the food which is\n               going to be consumed by infants and the children who\n               are already under nourished.54. It cannot be over emphasised that,                        since the\n               beneficiaries of the Dense Energy Food and Fortified\n               Blended Mixture are infants from the age group of 6\n               months to 3 years and pregnant and lactating mothers,\n               it was all the more desirable to have fully automated\n               plants. Such procedure avoids the use of human hands\n               in   processes       like-handling,          cleaning,    grinding,\n               extrusion,    mixing      etc.,   all   of    which      are   done\n               automatically."51.   After this judgment of the Supreme Court, in the year 2011 the Act, 2013\n\n      was enacted and it came into force with effect from 10 th September,\n\n      2013. Preamble of the Act, 2013 is as follows:-"An Actto provide for food and nutritional security inPage 155 of 186human life cycle approach, by ensuring access to\n               adequate quantity of quality food at affordable prices to\n               people to live a life with dignity and for matters\n               connected therewith or incidental thereto."52.   The MoWCD framed 'The Supplementary Nutrition (under the Integrated\n\n      Child Development Services Scheme) Rules, 2015' (for short 'the Rules,\n\n      2015'). Rule 8 of the Rules, 2015 mentions about the responsibility of\n\n      the State Governments to ensure method of delivery of supplementary\n\n      food at Anaganwadi Centres, engagement of Self-Help Groups, supply\n\n      and quality of Supplementary Nutrition through them.53.   Writ Petition (Civil) No.196/2001 was again heard on 10.02.2017 and on\n\n      this date following order was passed by Hon'ble Supreme Court:-"In view of the passage of theNational Food Security\n              Act, 2013, nothing further survives in this petition. It is\n              accordingly disposed of.In case the petitioner has any grievance with regard to\n              the implementation or otherwise of theNational Food\n              Security Act, 2013, he may file a fresh petition.In view of the disposal of the writ petition, all pending\n              applications including applications for impleadment\n              /intervention are disposed of."54.   After the enactment of the Act, 2013, the MoWCD notified the 'The\n\n      Supplementary Nutrition (under the Integrated Child Development\n\n      Services Scheme) Rules, 2017' (for short 'the Rules, 2017'). In Rule 9 of\n\n      the Rules, 2017. It was provided, that the State Governments, Union\n\n      Territories, and the Monitoring and Review Committees at National,\n\n      State, District, Block and Anganwadi Levels, ensure functioning of\n\n      Anganwadi Centres, shall be responsible to ensure regular supply ofPage 156 of 186supplementary nutrition at Anganwadi Centres without disruptions and\n\n      provided for use of    iodized or iron fortified iodized salts, to ensure\n\n      monitoring and supervision visits by officials at different levels as per\n\n      norms, method of delivery of supplementary food at Anganwadies\n\n      Centres for engagement of Self Help Groups to ensure supply and\n\n      quality of supplementary nutrition through them etc.55.   The matter again came up before the Supreme Court in which the tender\n\n      notice issued by the Government of Maharashtra was under challenge\n\n      and the writ petition filed before the High Court of Bombay Bench at\n\n      Aurangabad was dismissed. This issue was decided by the Supreme\n\n      Court in the case ofVaishnorani Mahila Bachat Gat(supra). Principal\n\n      issue raised before the Supreme Court was ''whether contracts for\n\n      supply such food for Anaganwadis should be given to local Mahila\n\n      Mandals run along democratic lines with local women participating or\n\n      whether such contracts ought to be given by the State to large\n\n      corporate/ contractors.Reference was made to the order dated\n\n      7.10.2004 passed inPUCL Vs. Union of India.The judgment ofShagun\n\n      Mahila Udyogik Sahakari Sanstha Maryadit(supra) was also\n\n      discussed and it was observed that theShagun Mahilacase was not\n\n      based upon the recommendations of the Government of India, but on\n\n      the basis of the letter of the Deputy Technical Director, Western Region,\n\n      which was wrongly represented to the Court as recommendation of the\n\n      Government of India.It was observed in paragraph-31, that after the\n\n      decision inShagun Mahila's case (supra), the Act, 2013, has come\n\n      into force and new policy of the Government of India has also been\n\n      framed, which was mentioned in the affidavit of the Secretary, MoWCD\n\n      dated 6.8.2018. In paragraph Nos.48, 49, 50, 51 of the judgment, it wasPage 157 of 186observed as follows:-"48. Ultimately, it has been pointed out in the affidavit on\n         behalf of the Government of India, Ministry of Women\n         and Child Welfare that the policy of the Government of\n         India vis-a-vis the Supplementary Nutrition under the\n         ICDS Scheme based on the nutritional norms on\n         24.02.09     read    with      the   2013   Act   and   the\n         Supplementary Nutrition (Under the Integrated Child\n         Development Services Scheme) Rules, 2015, which\n         have been amended in 2017 and the guidelines issued\n         by the Union of India. The following points broadly\n         emerge:-"(a) Preparation of hot cooked meal at AWC itself where\n         there should be the provision of the kitchen, water, and\n         sanitation as per the provisions ofSection 5(1)of\n         NFSA;(b) Supply of take home ration meant for children of 6\n         months - 3 years age and P&LM from the Self-Help\n         Groups as per Schedule II of NFSA, 2013 and Rule 9\n         of the SNP Rules, 2017;(c) Maintenance of quality, cleanliness, and hygiene as\n         per the provisions ofSection 7of SNP Rules, 2017 and\n         the Government of India guidelines issued in July\n         2013;(d) Protein and the calorific requirement to be met as per\n         the provisions of Schedule II of NFSA, 2013;(e) Fortification of food ingredients of SNP under ICDS as\n         per MWCD's Letter dated 10-07-2017;(f) States/UTs to decide recipes keeping in view the\n         nutritional requirement prescribed food habits and\n         availability of local food."49. When we consider the NIT in question issued by thePage 158 of 186Government of Maharashtra, we are of the considered\n  opinion that it was not in the spirit of the orders passed\n  by this Court as the imposition of the condition of 25%\n  of turnover during any one of the last three financial\n  years in the various districts by insisting for the\n  performance for supplying at least annual average\n  value equal to 25% of required turnover of applied\n  sectors. As to the formation of applied sectors it is\n  apparent from the tender notice that each of the\n  districts has been taken as a unit and yearly\n  expenditure,        for       example,          Ahmednagar      is\n  Rs.31,78,87,200           yearly,   25%     would       come    to\n  Rs.7,94,71,800 and so on district-wise which ranges\n  from Rs. 1 Crore to more than Rs.10 Crores in various\n  districts. Thus, we find force in the submission that by\n  virtue of the imposition of the aforesaid condition only\n  big players have been left in the field and that is not in\n  tune with the spirit of the Act and the orders passed by\n  this Court as well as the policy framed by the\n  Government of India, as projected in the aforesaid\n  affidavit dated 6-8-2018. Thus, the tender conditions\n  cannot be held to be valid as they were arbitrarily fixed\n  and it was fairly conceded by Mr. Nadkarni, learned\n  Additional Solicitor General appearing for the State of\n  Maharashtra as well as by Mr. Vijay Thora, learned\n  Senior   Counsel,          appearing      for     the   State   of\n  Maharashtra that they have to abide by the conditions\n  as imposed by the Union of India and the policy framed\n  by the Union of India as projected in the affidavit dated\n  6-8-2018.50. Tender notice which has been issued also falls down;\n  we direct the tenders to be invited afresh, within four\n  weeks, strictly as per the policy and observations made\n  in this judgment.51.It has also been found that fixing of unit area as aPage 159 of 186district several players have been effectively ousted\n               from the field, it would be appropriate to form groups of\n               the smaller area such as at panchayat or group of\n               panchayats, etc. within the district so that the real\n               intention behind the policy is fulfilled in its real sense\n               and supply should be decentralized as much as\n               possible as it is not for the big players/industrialists in\n               the field to cater to the needs of the Scheme as they\n               have usurped in past. It is open to the State\n               Government to make alternative arrangement and they\n               are restrained from continuing the existing system of\n               supply in the interregnum period. This decision as to\n               alternative arrangement should be taken within ten\n               days."56.   After the judgment inVaishnoranicase (supra) in the year 2019, the\n\n      MoWCD has issued new guidelines on 13.1.2021. The subject of these\n\n      guidelines   mentions      about   the    Quality   Assurance,   Roles   and\n\n      Responsibilities of Duty Holders, procedure for procurement, integrating\n\n      AYUSH concepts and Data Management and Monitoring through\n\n      'Poshan Tracker' for transparency, efficiency and accountability in\n\n      delivery of Supplementary Nutrition. Clause-1, 2 & 4 are relevant which\n\n      are reproduced as follows:-"1.Quality Assurance:Adherence to Quality Standards and Testing:States/Uts shall ensure the quality of Supplementary\n              Nutrition being provided with reference to the norms of\n              food      safety   as   well     as   nutrient   composition.\n              Supplementary Nutrition must conform to prescribed\n              standards laid down under theFood Safety and\n              Standards Act, 2006and regulations made thereunder\n              to ensure consistent quality and nutritive value per\n              serving. The periodicity of sample testing shall be oncePage 160 of 186in a quarter of an annual year, per project.Take-Home Ration (not raw ration), shall be tested from\n   FSSAI owned/registered/empaneled/NABL accredited\n   laboratory. Random testing must be conducted by\n   Anganwadi Services functionaries after receipt of stock\n   at the AWC or at the Block level. Anganwadi Services\n   functionaries i.e. CDPO or Supervisor shall draw the\n   samples, as per the prescribed procedure and send the\n   sample        for        testing      to       a      FSSAI\n   owned/registered/empaneled/NABL                    accredited\n   laboratory.In case of Hot Cooked Meal, it should be ensured that it\n   is prepared in proper kitchen sheds having adequate\n   sanitation and safe drinking water so as to maintain\n   hygienic conditions.2. Supply-Chain Management:Supply chain process in the States must be made\n   transparent for functionaries to ensure uninterrupted\n   supply to the last mile, which are compliant with FSSAI\n   registration-licensing process for entitles involved in\n   manufacture, storage and distribution of food to ensure\n   food safety and hygiene.A. At District Level:The District Magistrate shall be the Nodal Point in the\n   district for monitoring nutritional status and quality\n   standards. The DM/Collector shall chair, supervise and\n   monitor the activities of the District Nutrition Committee.\n   Nutrition Experts suggested in District Committee have\n   to be mandatorily certified nutrition experts. The Child\n   Development Project Officer(CDPO) who is responsible\n   for administration and implementation of nutrition and\n   ICDS projects, shall carry out major responsibilities as\n   follows under the supervision of the DM/Collector.Page 161 of 186 coordinate and evaluate deliveries in the district as a\n   Key Performance Indicator of the DM/Collector for\n   nutritional improvement of beneficiaries, especially\n   SAM/MAM children; undertake overall administration and coordination of the\n   nutrition project and ensure smooth and effective\n   delivery   of all intended services in the project\n   jurisdiction; conduct periodic monitoring including surprise spot-\n   checks,     draw     samples   for   quality   testing   of\n   supplementary nutrition (THR and HCM) provided,\n   ensure adequate measures for food safety and hygiene\n   are followed throughout the supply chain, assess the\n   quality of pre-school delivery etc., to ensure quality and\n   undertake necessary course correction; monitor distribution of necessary stocks for delivery of\n   key services; participate in the VHSND meetings, community-based\n   events, Jan Andolan activities etc. to motivate field\n   functionaries and beneficiaries; facilitate preparation of Block Convergence Action Plan\n   and its implementation; conduct Joint Field Visits with Medical Officer(MD) and\n   Joint Review Meetings on monthly basis, especially with\n   regards to SAM children; ensure collation of monthly progress reports for the\n   District and share with the State; when visiting AWCs, CDPO must conduct home-visits\n   for pregnant women, new-born and infants crossing 6-\n   months     and     undertake   age-appropriate    nutrition\n   counselling, to train and demonstrate the importance of\n   home-visits and counseling to AWWs and motivate themPage 162 of 186to undertake regular home visits.B. At State Level:Nutrition requires convergence of various services that\n                contribute to improved nutritional status. This requires\n                strong and effective multi-department convergent efforts\n                and actions to address malnutrition. Therefore, Chief\n                Secretary of the States/UTs should coordinate the\n                activities of various departments through a State Level\n                Steering Committee to ensure effective convergence\n                between various schemes/programs having bearing on\n                nutrition and review the progress made regarding\n                Nutritional Indicators on regular basIs.Secretaries of different departments may assess how\n                their schemes/programs can positively impact nutrition\n                levels and also how POSHAN Abhiyaan can be\n                supported to build awareness and create Jan Andolan\n                around nutrition.(C ) In Village:Involvement of AWC Level Management Committees,\n                village communities, Mothers Groups, and Panchayati\n                Raj   Institutions    (Poshan    Panchayats)    will   bring\n                community ownership and encourage accountability.4.    Procedure for Procurement:State/UT must        introduce   transparent   process for\n                procurement as per GFR and vigilance guidelines and\n                ensure that THR procured conforms to technical and\n                nutritional standards set by MoWCD."57.   Annexure-I of these guidelines mentions about the Roles and\n\n      Responsibilities of the Key Grassroots Stakeholders, in which, the first is\n\n      'family / mother', second is 'Poshan Panchayats', which is a Panchayati\n\n      Raj Institution, third is 'Village Health and Nutritional Committee' and thePage 163 of 186'District AYUSH In-charge'. It nowhere mentions about the engagement\n\n      of SHGs or Mahila Mandals. Clause 4, the procedure of procurement is\n\n      very specific and clear regarding the standards and norms to be\n\n      maintained. These guidelines also speak of 'Integrating AYUSH\n\n      concepts'      for   holistic    nourishment   through   Poshan   Vatika   and\n\n      constitution of District Nutrition Committee is also suggested. After the\n\n      issuance of these guidelines, vide Notification Dated 28.6.2021 issued\n\n      by MoWCD 'The Supplementary Nutrition (under the Integrated Child\n\n      Development Services Scheme) Rules, 2017' was de-notified. This is\n\n      the development that has taken place subsequent to the judgment\n\n      delivered inVaishnoranicase (supra).58.   It also requires mentioning, that it is the obligation of the State\n\n      Government to implement and monitor the schemes for ensuring food\n\n      security as provided underSection 24of the Act, 2013.Section 24(5)of\n\n      the Act, 2013 is as follows:-"24.Implementation and monitoring of schemes for\n               ensuring food security:-(1)           xxx\n\n               (2)           xxx\n\n               (3)           xxx\n\n               (4)           xxx(5) For efficient operations of the Targeted Public\n               Distribution System, every State Government shall,-(a) create and maintain scientific storage facilities at\n               the State, District and Block levels, being sufficient to\n               accommodate foodgrains required under the Targeted\n               Public Distribution System and other food based\n               welfare schemes;Page 164 of 186(b)     suitably strengthen capacities of their Food\n               and Civil Supplies Corporations and other designated\n               agencies;(c)     establish     institutionalised     licensing\n               arrangements for fair price shops in accordance with\n               the relevant provisions of the Public Distribution System\n               (Control) Order, 2001 made under theEssential\n               Commodities Act, 1955, as amended from time to time."Section 24(5)(b)is specific, empowering the State Government to\n\n      strengthen the capacity of Food and Civil Supplies Corporation.59.   Further, the Transitory provision underSection 41of the Act, 2013 also\n\n      needs reference-"41. Transitory provisions for schemes, guidelines,\n               etc.―The schemes, guidelines, orders and food\n               standard, grievance redressal mechanism, vigilance\n               committees, existing on the date of commencement of\n               this Act, shall continue to be in force and operate till\n               such schemes, guidelines, orders and food standard,\n               grievance redressal mechanism, vigilance committees\n               are specified or notified under this Act or the rules\n               made thereunder:Provided that anything done or any action taken under\n               the said schemes, guidelines,         orders and food\n               standard, grievance redressal mechanism, or by\n               vigilance committees shall be deemed to have been\n               done or taken under the corresponding provisions of\n               this Act and shall continue to be in force accordingly\n               unless and until superseded by anything done or by\n               any action taken under this Act."According to the proviso toSection 41of the Act, 2013 the\n\n      guideline of 13.1.2021 has superseded the previous schemes,\n\n      guidelines etc.Page 165 of 18660.   The learned counsels for the petitioner side have placed emphasis on\n\n      the order of Supreme Court inPUCLcase of 7.10.2004, that there is a\n\n      clear direction for decentralization of the procurement and supply\n\n      system in the ICDS Scheme. This argument has been vehemently\n\n      opposed by the learned Advocate General and the learned Senior\n\n      Counsel for the respondent- Beej Nigam.It was submitted that all the\n\n      interim orders passed merged with final order regarding which reliance\n\n      has been placed on the judgment of Supreme Court in the case ofPrem\n\n      Chandra Aggrawal and another(supra),Kanwar Singh Saini(supra)\n\n      andAmarjeet Singh(supra). It is well settled principle that once a final\n\n      order is passed, all the interim orders merge into it and the interim\n\n      orders cease to exist. In the light of this principle of law laid down, the\n\n      order of Supreme Court dated 10.02.2017 in W.P.(C.) No.196/2001 is a\n\n      final order disposing of the case, in which it is specifically mentioned that\n\n      nothing survives further after the enactment of the Act, 2013. The\n\n      Supreme Court had monitored implementation of ICDS Scheme since\n\n      the year 2001 when W.P.(C.)No.196/2001 PUCL Vs. Union of Indiawas\n\n      filed before it, by issuing directions time to time on the basis of the\n\n      reports which were received from the learned Commissioners and on\n\n      that basis the exclusion of private contractors and decentralization was\n\n      emphasized upon. As it is clear from the reporting placed in the record of\n\n      the proceeding and the case was kept alive for the purpose of\n\n      monitoring the ICDS Scheme until 2017.The order dated 10.02.2017 inPUCL's case does not speak anything about earlier orders passed. The\n\n      only observation is this, that since the Act, 2013 has come into force,\n\n      there is no necessity to continue hearing in W.P.(C.) No.196/2001.Further direction of the Supreme Court in order dated 10.02.2017 is thatPage 166 of 186if the petitioner has any grievance with respect to implementation of the\n\n      Act, 2013 onlyin that casehe shall at liberty to file fresh petition.Therefore,    this   direction   is   also   limited   with   respect    to   the\n\n      implementation of the Act, 2013 only, without any mention of previous\n\n      orders of the Court. Hence, in such a case, the principle of law that all\n\n      the interim orders merge with the final order, has its relevance.61.   In none of the petitions, the petitioners have challenged the vires of the\n\n      Act, 2013 or the guidelines of Central Govt. dated 13.1.2021. There is\n\n      repeated reference to the P.U.C.L. order of 07.10.2004. On careful reading\n\n      of this order, it is found that this order is not a decision on any issue raised,\n\n      therefore, it cannot be said to be a ratio decidendi.Article 141of the\n\n      Constitution of India provides that "the law declared by the Supreme Court\n\n      shall be binding on all Courts and according to that, the law declared\n\n      means law made while interpreting the statutes or the Constitution. Such\n\n      judicial law-making is part of the judicial process. UnderArticle 141, law-making through interpretation and expansion o f the meanings of open-textured expressions such as law in relation to contempt of courts inArticle\n\n      19(2), equal protection of law, freedom of speech and expression and\n\n      administration of justice is a legitimate judicial function, as it was held in the\n\n      case ofSahara India Real Estate Corporation Ltd. Vs. Securities &\n\n      Exchange Board of Indiareported in 2012 (10) SCC 603." Present is not\n\n      a similar case.62.In the case ofManish Goel Vs. Rohini Goelreported in 2010 (4) SCC\n\n      393, it was held, that "no Court has competence to issue a direction\n\n      contrary to law nor the Court can direct an authority to act in\n\n      contravention of the statutory provisions. The courts are meant to\n\n      enforce the rule of law and not to pass the orders or directions which arePage 167 of 186contrary to what has been injected by law."63.In the case ofDelhi Administration (Now N.C.T. of Delhi) Vs.\n\n      Manohar Lalreported in (2002) 7 SCC 222, it was observed in\n\n      paragraph 5 as follows :-"5.We have carefully considered the submissions of the\n              learned counsel appearing on either side. Apparently,\n              the learned Judge in the High Court was merely\n              swayed by considerations of judicial comity and\n              propriety and failed to see that merely because this\n              Court has issued directions in some other cases, to\n              deal with the fact situation in those other cases, in the\n              purported exercise of its undoubted inherent and\n              plenary powers to do complete justice, keeping aside\n              even technicalities, the High Court, exercising statutory\n              powers under the Criminal Laws of the land, could not\n              afford to assume to itself the powers or jurisdiction to\n              do the same or similar things. The High Court and all\n              other courts in the country were no doubt ordained to\n              follow and apply the law declared by this Court, but that\n              does    not     absolve   them   of   the   obligation    and\n              responsibility to find out the ratio of the decision and\n              ascertain the law, if any, so declared from a careful\n              reading of the decision concerned and only thereafter\n              proceed to apply it appropriately, to the cases before\n              them. Considered in that context, we could not find\n              from the decisions reported in Sukumaran and Santosh\n              Kumar any law having been declared or any principle or\n              question of law having been decided or laid down\n              therein and that in those cases this Court merely\n              proceeded to give certain directions to dispose of the\n              matter in the special circumstances noticed by it and\n              the need felt, in those cases, by this Court to give such\n              a   disposal.     The     same   could   not   have      been\n              mechanically adopted as a general formula to disposePage 168 of 186of, as a matter of routine, all cases coming before any\n               or all the courts as a universal and invariable solution in\n               all such future cases also. The High Court had no\n               justifying reason to disturb the conclusion of the first\n               Appellate Court, in this regard."64.   Hence, on this basis, it can be said that no question of law was decided\n\n      in the P.U.C.L. case order dated 7.10.2004. Apart from that, the order\n\n      has merged with the final order. The directions passed in any order by\n\n      the Supreme Court cannot be regarded as law laid down. Such\n\n      directions are given by the Supreme Court in the exercise ofArticle 142of the Constitution of India.65.In the case ofIndian Drugs & Pharmaceuticals Ltd. Vs. Workman,\n\n      Indian Drugs & Pharmaceuticals Ltd.reported in (2007) 1 SCC (L &\n\n      S) 270, it was held in paragraph 41 as follows:-"41. No doubt, in some decisions the Supreme Court\n               has directed regularization of temporary or ad hoc\n               employees but it is well settled that a mere direction of\n               the Supreme Court without laying down any principle of\n               law is not a precedent. It is only where the Supreme\n               Court lays down a principle of law that it will amount to\n               a precedent. Often the Supreme Court issues directions\n               without laying down any principle of law, in which case,\n               it is not a precedent. For instance, the Supreme Court\n               often directs appointment of someone or regularization\n               of a temporary employee or payment of salary, etc.\n               without laying down any principle of law. This is often\n               done on humanitarian considerations, but this will not\n               operate as a precedent binding on the High Court. For\n               instance, if the Supreme Court directs regularization of\n               service of an employee who had put in 3 years' service,\n               this does not mean that all employees who had put in 3\n               years' service must be regularized. Hence, such aPage 169 of 186direction is not a precedent.InMunicipal Committee,\n               Amritsar vs. Hazara Singh, the Supreme Court\n               observed that only a statement of law in a decision is\n               binding.InState of Punjab vs. Baldev Singh, this Court\n               observed that everything in a decision is not a\n               precedent.In Delhi Administration vs. Manoharlal, the\n               Supreme Court observed that a mere direction without\n               laying down any principle of law is not a precedent.InDivisional Controller, KSRTC vs. Mahadeva Shetty, this\n               Court observed as follows:"..The decision ordinarily is a decision on the case\n               before the Court, while the principle underlying the\n               decision would be binding as a precedent in a case\n               which comes up for decision subsequently. The scope\n               and authority of a precedent should never be expanded\n               unnecessarily beyond the needs of a given situation.\n               The only thing binding as an authority upon a\n               subsequent Judge is the principle, upon which the case\n               was decided"66.   It has been held by the Supreme Court that directions passed by the\n\n      Supreme Court time to time for regularization of ad-hoc employees are\n\n      not a ratio of law. Such directions have to be treated to be passed underArticle 142of Constitution of India. Similar was the view of the Supreme\n\n      Court in the case ofIndian Bank Vs. ABS Marine Products Pvt. Ltd.reported in (2006) 5 SCC 72 that the directions of the Supreme Court\n\n      are not the ratio decidendi.67.   Now the question arises whether the judgment of Supreme Court inVaishnoranicase shall be a guiding factor for the decision of the issue in\n\n      this case or not ?68.   Learned Senior Counsel for respondent-Beej Nigam has argued thatVaishnoranicase decided the question raised regarding notice invitingPage 170 of 186tender and, therefore, the decision rendering the notice inviting tender\n\n      invalid alone is the ratio of the case.Any other observation made by the\n\n      Court referring to the previous orders inPUCLcase, cannot be a binding\n\n      precedent regarding which the reliance has been placed on the\n\n      judgment of Supreme Court in the case ofState of Orissa Vs.\n\n      Sudhansu Sekhar Misra and others(supra), Union of India & Ors.Vs. Dhanwanti Devi and others(supra), State of Orissa Vs. Md.Illiyas(supra), in which it was held that a case is a precedent and\n\n      binding for what it explicitly decides and no more. A decision is a\n\n      precedent on its own facts.69.   This argument has been vehemently opposed by the learned Senior\n\n      Counsel for the petitioners submitting that there is reference of thePUCLcase in the Vaishnorani judgment number of times and further the\n\n      concluding portion of the judgment is specific which directs to form\n\n      groups of smaller areas such as at Panchayat or group of Panchayats\n\n      etc. within the district so that real intention behind the policy is fulfilled in\n\n      its real sense and that the supply should be decentralized as much as\n\n      possible as it is not for the big players/ industrialists in the field to cater\n\n      to the needs of the Scheme. This being the specific direction given in the\n\n      background of the PUCL order cannot be ignored.Paragraph-12 of the\n\n      judgment in case ofState of Orissa Vs. Md. Illiyas(supra) is as\n\n      follows:-" When the allegation is of cheating or deceiving,\n                  whether the alleged act is wilful or not depends upon\n                  the circumstances of the case concerned and there\n                  cannot be any straitjacket formula. The High Court\n                  unfortunately did not discuss the factual aspects and by\n                  merely placing reliance on an earlier decision of thePage 171 of 186Court held that pre-requisite conditions were absent.\nReliance on the decision without looking into the factual\nbackground     of   the     case     before    it,        is     clearly\nimpermissible. A decision is a precedent on its own\nfacts. Each case presents its own features. It is not\neverything said by a Judge while giving judgment that\nconstitutes a precedent. The only thing in a Judge's\ndecision binding a party is the principle upon which the\ncase is decided and for this reason it is important to\nanalyse a decision and isolate from it the ratio\ndecidendi. According to the well-settled theory of\nprecedents,    every      decision   contains        three        basic\npostulates (i) findings of material facts, direct and\ninferential. An inferential finding of facts is the inference\nwhich the Judge draws from the direct, or perceptible\nfacts; (ii) statements of the principles of law applicable\nto the legal problems disclosed by the facts; and (iii)\njudgment based on the combined effect of the above. A\ndecision is an authority for what it actually decides.\nWhat is of the essence in a decision is its ratio and not\nevery observation found therein nor what logically flows\nfrom the various observations made in the judgment.\nThe enunciation of the reason or principle on which a\nquestion before a court has been decided is alone\nbinding as a precedent. (See: State of Orissa v.Sudhansu      Sekhar      Misra    and Union         of        India   v.\nDhanwanti Devi.) A case is a precedent and binding for\nwhat it explicitly decides and no more. The words used\nby Judges in their judgments are not to be read as if\nthey are words in an Act of Parliament. In Quinn v.\nLeathem Earl of Halsbury, L.C. observed that every\njudgment must be read as applicable to the particular\nfacts proved or assumed to be proved, since the\ngenerality of the expressions which are found there are\nnot intended to be the exposition of the whole law but\ngoverned and qualified by the particular facts of thePage 172 of 186case in which such expressions are found and a case is\n               only an authority for what it actually decides."70.   On careful reading of the judgment inVaishnorani(supra), it is revealed\n\n      that the Supreme Court had specifically directed and ordered by\n\n      adhering to the policies of the Center and the State that were existing on\n\n      the date this judgment was delivered. There is specific reference of the\n\n      affidavit dated 6.8.2018, the nutritional norms of the guidelines of\n\n      24.2.2009, the Rules, 2015 and the Rules, 2017. It is to be noticed that\n\n      the guidelines of the MoWCD dated 13.1.2021 is a substantial change\n\n      from the previous guidelines and Rules in which the maintenance of\n\n      norms and standards of the THR and other Rules regarding supply\n\n      system under the Scheme are given special emphasis and the\n\n      provisions in the Rule, 2015 and the Rules, 2017 regarding engagement\n\n      of SHGs have not been brought forward. Further, the previous Rule\n\n      2017 was de-notified.71. In the affidavit dated 3.4.2022 submitted by the Under Secretary,\n\n      Ministry of Women and Child Development it is mentioned that the\n\n      streaming guidelines of Quality Assurance, Roles and Responsibilities of\n\n      Duty Holders, procedure for procurement, integrating AYUSH concepts\n\n      and Data Management and Monitoring through 'Poshan Tracker' for\n\n      transparency, efficiency and accountability in delivery of Supplementary\n\n      Nutrition have been issued on 13.1.2021 to the States/Union Territories\n\n      directing the State/Union Territories to introduce transparent process for\n\n      procurement as per General Financial Rules, 2017 and vigilance\n\n      guidelines and ensure that Take Home Ration procured conforms to the\n\n      technical and nutritional standards set by MoWCD under General\n\n      Financial Rules, 2017. The selection by direct negotiation is consideredPage 173 of 186only under exceptional circumstances such as emergency situation,\n\n      situations where execution of assignment made involvement of propriety\n\n      techniques. The procedure inter alia is required to ensure fairness. Thus,\n\n      the reply submitted by respondent/Union of India on affidavit emphasizes\n\n      on the streaming guidelines dated 13.1.2021.72.Section 38of the Act, 2013 provides that Central Government may from\n\n      time to time give such directions as it may consider necessary to the\n\n      State Government for the effective implementation of the provision of the\n\n      Act. Thus, the guidelines dated 13.1.2021 that has been issued by\n\n      MoWCD, has the statutory force. The guidelines under the Rules, 2017\n\n      and the policies that were existing at the time, when the judgment inVaishnoranicase was delivered.Therefore, the guidelines of 13.1.2021\n\n      that have been issued and Rules, 2017 has been denotified, that has\n\n      statutory force being issued in exercise of powers underSection 38of the\n\n      Act, 2013, hence, for these reasons, the judgment inVaishnoranicase\n\n      cannot be a guiding factor for deciding the issue involved in this case.73.   After these considerations and summing of the discussions made\n\n      hereinabove, the present scenario is this, that the direction of the\n\n      Supreme Court inPUCLcase dated 7.10.2004 is no longer holding the\n\n      field after the final disposal of WPC No.196 of 2001 on 10.2.2017 and\n\n      after the enactment of the Act, 2013. On the basis of the directions of the\n\n      Supreme Court, the Central Government and the State Government\n\n      continued with the policy of engaging the Mahila Mandals, Self Help\n\n      Groups, which is reflected in the Rules, 2015 and also in the Rules,\n\n      2017, and it was during the currency of such Policy and Rules, the\n\n      Vaishnorani judgment was delivered by the Supreme Court referring toPage 174 of 186the Policies and the Rules, 2017 and also the affidavit submitted on\n\n      behalf of the Central Government. Things have taken drastic change\n\n      after the issuance of new guidelines dated 13.1.2021 and de-notification\n\n      of the Rules, 2017, which has the effect of superseding the previous\n\n      scheme and guidelines as perSection 41of the Act, 2013. Hence, at\n\n      present these are the circumstances that shall prevail.74.   Next question for consideration is whether the Self Help Groups who are\n\n      the petitioners have any legally enforceable right?75.   The SHGs had been engaged as agencies for procurement and supply\n\n      of the THR, Mid Day Meals etc. under the ICDS Scheme since the year\n\n      2009 on contract basis. Therefore, the right of the SHGs as claimed is\n\n      based on contract and according to the terms of contract, SHGs have to\n\n      perform for the time period agreed and subsequent to that they can\n\n      continue only if the contract is renewed. A contract is strictly governed\n\n      by theIndian Contract Act, 1872. The role of the Self Help Groups\n\n      started after the order was passed in thePUCLcase on 7.8.2004. The\n\n      order of the Supreme Court was only direction for decentralization of the\n\n      procurement and supply system directing engagement of Self Help\n\n      Groups. It was only on the basis of this direction, which was later on\n\n      incorporated in the Revised nutritional and feeding norms for\n\n      supplementary nutrition issued by the Government of India on\n\n      24.2.2009. Subsequent to that it was provided for in the Supplementary\n\n      Nutrition under ICDS Scheme Rules, 2015 and, further, included in the\n\n      supplementary nutrition under the ICDS Scheme Rules, 2017, and the\n\n      role of SHGs had continued.On the date the judgment inVaishnoranicase was delivered, the Rules, 2017 was in force and similar was thePage 175 of 186policy and the scheme of the Union of India regarding which there is\n\n      mention of the affidavit dated 6.8.2018 of Government of India in\n\n      Vaishnorani judgment. There is also mention of the concession made by\n\n      learned counsel for State of Maharashtra.76.   A person can claim such right which is legally enforceable. In the PUCL\n\n      order of 7.10.2004, the Supreme Court had not created any legally\n\n      enforceable right in favor of the SHGs. It was only a direction or\n\n      suggestion to the concerned to engage SHGs as implementation\n\n      agencies. Although the Rules, 2009 and 2017 speak of engagement of\n\n      Self Help Groups and that policy had been implemented until such\n\n      period the said rules were in force. The guidelines of the year 2009\n\n      cannot be said to have any statutory effect as the same was not issued\n\n      under the authority of any law. However, the Rules, 2017 had the\n\n      authority of law as it was brought in exercise of powers underSection 39of the Act, 2013. After de-notification of the Rules, 2017 by Notification\n\n      Dated 28.6.2021 and the implementation of new guidelines dated\n\n      13.1.2021, the role of the SHGs as implementing agencies is no longer\n\n      continuing. There is no provision in the Act, 2013 which creates any right\n\n      in favor of the petitioners.Section 2 (1)of the Act, 2013 defines\n\n      'Anganwadi' which is a Child Care and Development Centre, set-up\n\n      under the Integrated Child Development Services Scheme of the Central\n\n      Government to render services as provided under the Act, 2013. It does\n\n      not include the SHGs, which are totally private entities, and further there\n\n      is no definition of SHGs provided in this Act. Other provisions of the Act,\n\n      2013 ie.Sections 5&6, speak of local Anganwadi. Thus Anganwadi is\n\n      an official set-up of the State Government and the persons having\n\n      engagement in such Anganwadis are the employees of the StatePage 176 of 186Government, which by no means includes the SHGs.77.   The status of the SHGs is that of an agent only. In the case of Sarkari\n\n      Sasta Anaj Vikreta Sangh(supra) and under such circumstance the\n\n      Supreme Court has observed in para-11 which is extracted as follows:-" The fundamental right of traders like the petitioners to\n              carry on business in foodstuffs was in no way affected.\n              They could carry on trade in foodstuffs without\n              hindrance as dealers; only, they could not run fair price\n              shops as agents of the Government. No one could claim\n              a right to run a fair price shop as an agent of the\n              Government. All that he could claim was a right to be\n              considered to be appointed as an agent of the\n              Government to run a fair price shop. If the Government\n              took a policy decision to prefer cooperative societies for\n              appointment as their agents to run fair price shops, in\n              the light of the frustrating and unfortunate experience\n              gathered in the last two decades, we do not see how we\n              can possibly hold that there was any discrimination."78.In the case of M/sRadhakrishna Agarwal & Ors. vs State of Bihar &\n\n      Ors(supra) it was observed in para-12 & 13 as follows:-"12. The Patna High Court had, very rightly, divided the\n              types of cases in which breaches of alleged obligation\n              by the State units agents can be set up into three types.\n              These were stated as follows :(i) Where a petitioner makes a grievance of breach of\n              promise on the part of the State in cases where on\n              assurance or promise made by the State he has acted to\n              his prejudice and predicament, but the agreement is\n              short of a contract within the meaning ofArticle 299of\n              the Constitution;(ii) Where the contract entered into between the person\n              aggrieved and the State is in exercise of a statutoryPage 177 of 186power under certain Act or Rules framed thereunder and\n              the petitioner alleges a breach on the part of the State;and(iii) Where the contract entered into between the State\n              and the person aggrieved is non-statutory and purely\n              contractual and the rights and liabilities of the parties are\n              governed by the terms of the contract, and the petitioner\n              complains about breach of such contract by the State."13. It rightly held that the cases such as Union of India v.\n              M/s. Anglo-Afghan Agencies and Century Spinning &\n              Manu- facturingCo. Ltd. V. Ulhasnagar Municipal\n              Counciland Robertson V. Minister of Pensions, belong\n              to the first category where it could be held that public\n              bodies or the State are as much bound as private\n              individuals are to carry out obligations incurred by them\n              because parties seeking to bind the authorities have\n              altered their position to their disadvantage or have acted\n              to their detriment on the strength of the representations\n              made by these authorities. The High Court thought that\n              in such cases the obligation could sometimes be\n              appropriately enforced on a Writ Petition even though\n              the obligation was equitable only. We do not propose to\n              express an opinion here on the question whether such\n              an    obligation   could   be   enforced   in   proceedings\n              underArticle 226of the Constitution now. It is enough to\n              observe that the cases before us do not belong to this\n              category.79.   On the basis of the discussion made hereinabove and the case laws\n\n      referred, it is held that the petitioners SHGs do not have any legally\n\n      enforcible rights to be appointed as an agent by the State Government\n\n      for implementation of ICDS Scheme in view of the new guidelines of the\n\n      Central Government dated 13.1.2021 and also in view of the provisions\n\n      under the Act, 2013.Page 178 of 18680.   The next question for consideration is whether the impugned order is\n\n      subject to judicial review?81.   It is the submission of the petitioners' counsel that the impugned order is\n\n      arbitrary and unreasonable and also against the mandate of the\n\n      Supreme Court. Arguments have been submitted in contrary by the\n\n      respondents/State, respondent- Union of India and also by the\n\n      respondent - C.G. Beej Evam Krishi Vikas Nigam. The golden principle\n\n      of judicial review is that whether the impugned order has been passed in\n\n      public interest or it is derogatory to the public interest. The impugned\n\n      order is passed on the basis of the new guidelines and directions issued\n\n      by the Ministry of Women and Child Development dated 13.01.2021 and\n\n      as the same has been issued in exercise ofSection 38of the Act, 2013,\n\n      therefore, it has the statutory effect.In case ofMohinder Singh Gill &\n\n      Another Vs. Chief Election Commissioner (Supra), it was held that\n\n      the public orders, publicly made, in exercise of a statutory authority\n\n      cannot be construed in the light of explanations subsequently given.As\n\n      submitted the learned senior counsel for the petitioners that the State\n\n      has duty to comply and follow the orders of Central Government as it is\n\n      enshrined inArticle 256and257of the Constitution of India and\n\n      therefore, the State Government can not frame any statutory policy as\n\n      there is the issue of right to livelihood as guaranteed in the fundamental\n\n      rights, regarding which reliance has been placed on the judgment in\n\n      case ofE.P. Royappa Vs. State of Tamilnadu(supra). Submissions\n\n      have also been made by the learned counsel for the petitioners that the\n\n      statute requires interpretation. These arguments have been opposed.82.In case ofBALCO Employees Union Vs. Union of India, reported inPage 179 of 186(2002) 2 SCC 333, the scope of judicial review has been explained\n\n      according to which unless the decision is contrary to any statutory\n\n      provision or the Constitution, the Court can not interfere with it and also\n\n      held that in case of a policy decision on economic matters, the Courts\n\n      should be very circumspect in conducting any enquiry or investigation\n\n      and must be most reluctant to impugn the judgment of the experts who\n\n      may have arrived at a conclusion.It was similarly held in the case ofDirectorate of Film Festival Vs. Gaurav Ashwin Jain(supra).Therefore, minimal interference is called for the Court in exercise of\n\n      judicial review of the government policy.83.In case ofTata Cellular Vs. Union of India, reported in (1994) 6 SCC\n\n      651, the observation made in paragraph - 94 are as follows :-"94. The principles deducible from the above are :(1) The modem trend points to judicial restraint in\n               administrative action.(2) The court does not sit as a court of appeal but\n               merely reviews the manner in which the decision was\n               made.(3) The court does not have the expertise to correct the\n               administrative decision. If a review of the administrative\n               decision is permitted it will be substituting its own\n               decision, without the necessary expertise which itself\n               may be fallible.(4) The terms of the invitation to tender cannot be open\n               to judicial scrutiny because the invitation to tender is in\n               the realm of contract.Normally speaking, the decision to accept the tender or\n               award    the   contract   is   reached   by   process    of\n               negotiations through several tiers. More often than not,Page 180 of 186such decisions are made qualitatively by experts.(5) The Government must have freedom of contract. In\n               other words, a fair play in the joints is a necessary\n               concomitant for an administrative body functioning in an\n               administrative sphere or quasi-administrative sphere.\n               However, the decision must not only be tested by the\n               application of Wednesbury principle of reasonableness\n               (including its other facts pointed out above) but must be\n               free from arbitrariness not affected by bias or actuated\n               by mala fides.(6) Quashing      decisions      may     impose       heavy\n               administrative burden on the administration and lead to\n               increased and unbudgeted expenditure.'84.InAir India Ltd. Vs. Cochin International Airport Ltd. & Ors., reported\n\n      in (2000) 2 SCC 617, it was held by the Supreme Court that Court\n\n      cannot interfere with the decision but it can interfere with the decision\n\n      making process on grounds of mala fides, unreasonableness or\n\n      arbitrariness.85.In case ofParisons Agrotech (P) Ltd. Vs. Union of India(supra) in\n\n      Para-14, this principle is very wide and clear regarding the scope of\n\n      judicial review as mentioned hereinabove, which is as under :-"14. No doubt, the writ court has adequate power of\n              judicial review in respect of such decisions. However,\n              once it is found that there is sufficient material for taking\n              a particular policy decision, bringing it within the four\n              corners ofArticle 14of the Constitution, power of judicial\n              review would not extend to determine the correctness of\n              such a policy decision or to indulge into the exercise of\n              finding out whether there could be more appropriate or\n              better alternatives. Once we find that parameters ofArticle 14are satisfied; there was due application ofPage 181 of 186mind in arriving at the decision which is backed by\n              cogent material; the decision is not arbitrary or irrational\n              and; it is taken in public interest, the Court has to\n              respect such a decision of the Executive as the policy\n              making is the domain of the Executive and the decision\n              in question has passed the test of the judicial review."86.In case ofKumari Shrilekha Vidyarthi Vs State Of U.P. and Ors,\n\n      reported in AIR 1991 SC 537, the Supreme Court has observed at Para-35, which is as under :-"35.It is now too well-settled that every State action, in\n               order to survive, must not be susceptible to the vice of\n               arbitrariness which is the crux ofArticle 14of the\n               Constitution and basic to the rule of law, the system\n               which governs us. Arbitrariness is the very negation of\n               the rule of law. Satisfaction of this basic test in every\n               State action is sine qua non to its validity and in this\n               respect, the State cannot claim comparison with a\n               private individual even in the field of contract. This\n               distinction between the State and a private individual in\n               the field of contract has to be borne in the mind."87.   Therefore, the question for examination in this case is only to this extent\n\n      whether the impugned order is arbitrary, unreasonable or against the\n\n      provisions of law.88.   The interest of the petitioners has been affected because of the\n\n      impugned order, which is leaving no scope for them in the matter of\n\n      procurement of THR through SHGs. As it has been discussed here-in-above that the petitioners are only agencies, which were engaged for\n\n      the supply of THR and other mid day meals according to ICDS scheme.The question of possible unemployment of petitioners has been raised in\n\n      this case. Therefore, the private interest of the petitioners are gettingPage 182 of 186affected by the impugned order. It has been held earlier while deciding\n\nthe first question that PUCL order of 07.10.2004, has lost its relevance\n\nafter passing the final order in the same case by the Supreme Court on\n\n10.02.2017. It was also held that when theVaishnoranicase was\n\ndecided by the Supreme Court, the Court had taken notice of the policy\n\nand rules prevailing at that time and rendered the decision. Scenario has\n\nchanged after framing of new guidelines of MoWCD dated 13.01.2021\n\nand also by the de-notification of the Rules, 2017. It has been held that\n\nthe guidelines have been issued in exercise of powers underSection 38of the Act, 2013 and therefore, the same have the statutory effect and it\n\nis on the basis of the same guidelines and also on the basis of the\n\nprovisions in the Act, 2013, a cabinet decision has been taken by the\n\nState Government, on the basis of which, the impugned order has been\n\npassed. The emphasis is upon the quality of assurance according to the\n\nguidelines dated 13.01.2021 with reference to the norms of Food\n\nSecurity as well as nutrient composition confirming to the prescribed\n\nstandard laid down under theFood Safety and Standard Act, 2006.There   is   further   provision   for   periodical   test   from   FSSAI\n\nowned/registered/ impaneled /NABL accredited laboratory. It is on this\n\nbasis, the respondents side has argued that the quality assurance can\n\nbe there only when the manufacturing is done through mechanized\n\nprocess and also that the manufacture plant is equipped with facilities to\n\nensure the norms of food safety as well as nutrient composition.Arguments have been submitted from the petitioners side that the\n\npetitioners SHGs have the experience about more than 10 years, for\n\nprocuring and supply of the THR since long for which the SHGs have\n\nmade investment, purchased equipments, obtained training and alsoPage 183 of 186have obtained certification from FSSAI time to time. Therefore, they may\n\n      not be ousted from ICDS scheme. The UNICEF report have been relied\n\n      upon by the petitioners as well as by the respondents. The UNICEF\n\n      report is complete with data and figures mentioning about the\n\n      shortcomings of SHGs and also making recommendation for the\n\n      improvement of the functioning of SHGs. Therefore, it can be said that\n\n      the performance of SHGs so far had not been up to the mark because of\n\n      which shortcomings have been reported and recommendations have\n\n      been made. The apprehensions raised regarding competence of Beej\n\n      Nigam are premature.89.   The question is how the interest of SHGs can be protected in such a\n\n      case. The targeted beneficiaries of the ICDS scheme, the Act, 2013 and\n\n      the guidelines dated 13.01.2021, which is at force at present are\n\n      children between age group of 6 months to 6 years, pregnant women\n\n      and lactating mothers. In the guidelines of 13.01.2021 and the Act, 2013\n\n      nowhere mentions SHGs.The Act, 2013and guidelines of 13.1.2021 are\n\n      not under challenge. It has been argued by the petitioners side that the\n\n      guidelines dated 13.01.2021 and the Act, 2013 also do not mention of\n\n      private contractor or a corporate industrialists. There being no statutory\n\n      right of the petitioners to claim to be employed as an agent, it is the\n\n      privilege of the State Government to take decision regarding the\n\n      agencies to be appointed. Hence, in such circumstances, the impugned\n\n      order is found to be based on the decision of the State Government,\n\n      which has been taken in accordance with the Act, 2013 and under the\n\n      guidelines dated 13.01.2021, which appears to be lawful in the present\n\n      state of things. The State Government has offered the petitioners SHGs\n\n      to participate in the supply system of the THR, that shall be produced byPage 184 of 186the respondent - C.G. Beej Evam Krishi Vikas Nigam through its\n\n      agencies. Hence, there is nothing to say that the impugned order is\n\n      either arbitrary or unreasonable. This question is answered accordingly.The power of judicial review cannot be exercised with respect to the\n\n      impugned order.90.   The main allegations made by the petitioners is this that the State\n\n      Government is privatising the procurement and supply in ICDS scheme.As per the submissions made and the documents presented by the\n\n      respondent side, which has not been specifically challenged by the\n\n      petitioners side. It is now clear that the C.G. Beej Evam Krishi Vikas\n\n      Nigam has entered into a joint venture agreement with C.G. Agro Food\n\n      Corporation Limited and PBS Food Pvt. Ltd. in the year 2012. The\n\n      inclusion of PBS Food Private Limited has been made through a\n\n      transparent process by publication of advertisement and that PBS Food\n\n      was the highest bidder and thus its bid was accepted. Thus the\n\n      respondent C.G. Beej Evam Krishi Vikas Nigam is a partner of this joint\n\n      venture. C.G. Agro Food Corporation Limited and PBS Food Pvt. Ltd.have not been made a party in any of the petitions.91.   The respondent -C.G. Beej Evam Krishi Vikas Nigam has been\n\n      constituted by the enactment of C.G. Rajya Beej Evam Krishi Vikas\n\n      Nigam Act, 1980, therefore, it is a body corporate constituted for the\n\n      protection of economic interest of the State.Section 3of the Act, 1980\n\n      provides for constitution of C.G. Beej Evam Krishi Vikas Nigam. The joint\n\n      venture company, which has been established by the Beej Nigam should\n\n      not be identified as Beej Nigam itself. The concept and the policy of\n\n      Public Private Partnership is old, which has been held to be lawful and\n\n      acceptable by the Supreme Court in case of Sooraram Pt. Road Vs.Page 185 of 186District Collector (supra) and in case ofMahanadi Coal Fields\n\n      Limited & Anr.(supra).92.   The constitution of Joint Venture company by C.G. Beej Evam Krishi\n\n      Vikas Nigam is in accordance withSection 24(5)(b)of the Act, 2013 and\n\n      is not under challenge in these petitions, therefore, the respondent -C.G. Beej Evam Krishi Vikas Nigam, being a government corporation is\n\n      State underArticle 12of the Constitution of India. Five Judges Bench of\n\n      the Supreme Court have held in the case ofSukhdev Singh & Ors. Vs.\n\n      Bagatram Sardar Singh Raghuvanshi & Anr., reported in (1975) 1\n\n      SCC 421, which is observed in paragraph - 36 as follows."36. This Court inRatasthan State Electricity Board, Jaipur\n              v. Mohan Lal(1967) 3 S.C.R. 377) said that an "authority\n              is a public administrative agency or corporation having\n              quasi- governmental powers and authorised to administer\n              a revenue- producing public enterprise.The expression\n              "other authorities" inArticle 12has been held by this Court\n              in theRajasthan Electricity Boardcase to- be wide enough\n              to include within it every authority created by a statute and\n              functioning within the territory of India, or under the control\n              of the Government of India. This Court further said\n              referring to earlier decisions that the expression "Other\n              authorities" inArticle 12will include all constitutional or\n              statutory authorities on whom powers are conferred by\n              law. The State itself is envisaged underArticle 298as\n              having the right to carry on trade and. business. The State\n              as defined inArticle 12is comprehended to include bodies\n              created for the purpose of promoting economic interests of\n              the people. The circumstance that the statutory body is\n              required to carry on some activities of the nature of trade\n              or commerce does not indicate that the Board must be\n              excluded from the scope of the word "State."The\n              Electricity Supply Actshowed that the Board had power to\n              give directions, the disobedience of which is punishable usPage 186 of 186a criminal offence. The power to issue directions and to\n                         enforce compliance is an important aspect.93.   It has been further held in the same judgment that public authority body\n\n              which has the statutory duties to perform those duties and carried out in\n\n              its transaction for the benefit of the public and not for the private profits,\n\n              such authority should not be precluded from making profit for the public\n\n              benefit.94.   The impugned order dated 26.11.2021 (Annexure P-1) speaks of\n\n              manufacturing the THR, ready to eat food through the Joint Venture\n\n              Company established by the C.G. Beej Evam Krishi Vikas Nigam. There\n\n              appears to be no such mention in the Joint Venture Agreement Clauses\n\n              that the distribution and supply shall be done by it. It shall be the C.G.\n\n              Beej Evam Krishi Vikas Nigam only which shall engage in supply of\n\n              THR. Therefore, I am of this view that the allegations of the petitioners\n\n              against the State about privatising the ICDS scheme appears to be\n\n              baseless. The respondent - C.G. Beej Evam Krishi Vikas Nigam is\n\n              working as an undertaking of the State Government and also as an arm\n\n              of the State Government, hence, this question is also answered\n\n              accordingly in negative.95.   After detailed consideration on the questions raised by the petitioners\n\n              side which has been answered in this judgment, I am of this view that all\n\n              the writ petitions filed are without any substance, hence, all the petitions\n\n              in this bunch are dismissed accordingly. The interim orders passed in\n\n              these cases stand vacated.Sd/-(Rajendra Chandra Singh Samant)\n                                                            Judge\n\nNANBM
