THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO WRIT PETITION No.27395 of 2009 Dated:01.06.2010 Between: M/s.Maheshwari Mahila Swasakthi Sangam, And another. ...Petitioners And The Revenue Divisional Officer, Karimnagar, Karimnagar District, And others. ...Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO WRIT PETITION No.27395 of 2009 ORDER: M/s.Maheshwari Mahila Swasakthi Sangam and its President filed the instant writ petition seeking a writ of mandamus questioning the selection held by the first respondent on 08.12.2009 for appointment of Fair Price Shop dealer No.0159. The first petitioner was appointed as a temporary dealer when the regular dealer B.Kistaiah expired. The petitioners contend that when they are running the Fair Price Shop without any complaints any selection process for appointment of new dealer is illegal and arbitrary. This Court while ordering notice before admission passed the following order. There shall be an interim direction to the respondents to continue the petitioner as fair price shop dealer of shop No.0159, Karimnagar Town. But, however, this order does not preclude the respondents from finalizing the candidates selected to interview held on 08.12.2009. Today when the matter is listed the Assistant Government Pleader for Civil Supplies submits that the selection process is completed and by proceedings No.K/2604/2010, dated 26.05.2010, one Sri Macha Prakash was appointed as authorized dealer of Fair Price Shop No.0159 of Karimnagar Town. The form of authorization in Form-II is also placed before this Court, which is made part of the record. After perusing the proceedings of the first respondent appointing the regular dealer, this Court is convinced that the cause of action no more survives. If so aggrieved, the petitioners may challenge the order of appointment of the regular dealer by way of appeal before the Joint Collector, if the petitioners are also one of the candidates for selection. The Writ Petition with the observations is accordingly dismissed. ____________ (V.V.S.RAO, J) 01.06.2010 vs
