THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L. NARASIMHA REDDY Writ Petition No.26405 of 2008 ORDER: This writ petition is filed with a prayer to declare the action of the respondents in not permitting the petitioner to distribute the essential commodities in respect of Gowdepally-I Village of Adilabad District. The petitioner alleges that though his authorization is in force, the respondents are not supplying the essential commodities. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned counsel for the respondents. It hardly needs any mention that once a fair price shop dealer is appointed and his authorization is in force, the authorities of the Civil Supplies Department is under obligation to supply food grains and other essential commodities. Learned Government Pleader for Civil Supplies submits that the authorization of the petitioner expired on 31.03.2008 and it has not been renewed thereafter. It is a different thing that an application said to have been filed by the petitioner for renewal is pending. However, as long as the authorization is not renewed, the petitioner cannot expect supply of food grains. Therefore, the writ petition is disposed of leaving it open to the petitioner to seek necessary redressal as regards renewal of his authorisation. There shall be no order as to costs. _________ 16.06.2009 JSU THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L. NARASIMHA REDDY Writ Petition No.26405 of 2008 Date: 16.06.2009 JSU
