HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R. SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No.23513 of 2009 Date: 23rd February 2010 Between: Musali Nalla Narayana @ Nalla Narayya. … Petitioner And The Government of A.P., rep. by the District Collector (Civil Supplies), Nellore & others. … Respondents HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R. SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No.23513 of 2009 ORDER: In this writ petition, the petitioner seeks directions by way of Mandamus, declaring the action of respondents 1 to 3 in not issuing him authorization to run fair price shop No.39 of Veguru village in Kovuru Mandal of Nellore District, as illegal and arbitrary. 2. When a vacancy arose with regard to fair price shop No.39 of Veguru village, steps have been taken by the respondents to fill up the said vacancy as per the provisions of the A.P. Public Distribution (Control) Order, 2008, framed under the Essential Commodities Act, 1955. Pursuant to the advertisements, the petitioner and respondent No.4 have applied for the same, and in the process of selection, the petitioner was selected, and the provisional appointment orders were also issued in favour of the petitioner. In this writ petition, the grievance of the petitioner is that inspite of his selection as fair price shop dealer, authorization has not been given to him. 3. On instructions, it is submitted by the learned Government Pleader appearing for respondents 1 to 3 that the authorization is not issued to the petitioner, as respondent No.4 herein has approached this Court by filing a writ petition in W.P.No.19351 of 2008. However, it is fairly admitted by the learned Government Pleader that no interim orders are passed by this Court in the said writ petition. 4. In the absence of any interim orders in the writ petition filed by respondent No.4, there is no reason for not issuing authorization to the petitioner after selecting him by following due process as per the A.P. Public Distribution (Control) Order, 2008. In that view of the matter, this writ petition is disposed of, directing respondent No.2 to issue authorization to the petitioner in respect of fair price shop No.39 of Veguru village of Kovuru Mandal in Nellore District. It is made clear that issuance of such authorization shall be subject to the orders to be passed by this Court in W.P.No.19351 of 2008, filed by the 4th respondent. 5. Subject to the above directions, the writ petition is disposed of. No order as to costs. ______________________ R. SUBHASH REDDY, J 23rd February 2010 ajr
