THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO WRIT PETITION No.6805 of 2010 Dated:26.03.2010 Between: C.Subba Lakshmamma. ...Petitioner And The Revenue Divisional Officer, Kurnool, Kurnool District, And another. ...Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO WRIT PETITION No.6805 of 2010 ORDER: The petitioner was appointed as temporary Fair Price Shop (FPS) dealer by proceedings of the first respondent dated 18.11.1999 until further orders. The first respondent issued notification dated 22.02.2010 inviting applications from persons belonging to open category (women) for filling up the vacancy of FPS No.52, Kurnool Municipal Corporation Limits, Kurnool. Assailing the said notification the present writ petition is filed. The petitioner’s Counsel contends that after death of her father-in-law the petitioner continued as temporary FPS dealer from 1999, and therefore, her right cannot be taken away without canceling the dealership. This submission cannot be accepted. As noticed supra, she was appointed as temporary dealer until further orders. Indeed, a perusal of the appointment order would show that the petitioner requested the Deputy Tahsildar, Kurnool, for temporary dealership. The said Officer made a recommendation to appoint the petitioner on temporary basis until further orders. Therefore, the petitioner has no right that can be enforced by issue of writ of mandamus. However, if the petitioner is continuing as the temporary FPS dealer of FPS No.52, Kurnool Municipal Corporation Limits, Kurnool, and there are no allegations against her or no suspension orders against her, she shall be continued till a regular dealer is appointed by the first respondent, so that the cardholders attached to the shop would not face any inconvenience. The security deposit made by the petitioner at the time of appointment, if any, as temporary dealer shall be returned to the petitioner by the Revenue Divisional Officer on an application being made by the petitioner within a period of eight weeks after receiving the said application. This Court also observes that first respondent shall complete the selection process as early as possible. The writ petition with the above observations is accordingly dismissed. There shall be no order as to costs. ____________ (V.V.S.RAO, J) 26.03.2010 vs
