APPELLANT AND 1 The Commissioner of Civil Supplies Andhra Pradesh Hyderabad 2 The District Collector(CS) Karimnagar District 3 The Revenue Divisional Officer Pedapally Karimnagar District 4 The Tahasildar Ramagundam Karimnagar District .....RESPONDENT(S) Counsel for the Appellant:MR.VENKATESHWAR VARANASI Counsel for the Respondent No.: GP FOR CIVIL SUPPLIES The Court made the following : ORDER: (per Hon’ble Sri Justice B.Prakash Rao) Heard Sri Venkateswar Varanasi, learned counsel for the appellant, learned Government Pleader for Civil Supplies and at their request, the writ petition itself is taken up for disposal. The appellant, who is the unsuccessful petitioner, ﬁled this appeal, inter alia alleging that the writ petition ﬁled by him seeking a direction to the respondents to supply the essential commodities to his fair price shop bearing No.4555 for 621 card holders pertaining to Block No.12-4 & 12-5 situated at 12-5-257, Laxmipuram, Elkulapalli Gate, Ramagudam Mandal, Karimnagar District, was dismissed. The grievance of the petitioner was that, having regard to the shortage in respect of the quota allotted to him, he sought a direction for allotment and that the learned Judge having observed that the petitioner was kept temporary incharge of fair price shop No.4555/1 (redesignated as 4597), in pursuance of the cancellation of the authorization of the original dealer by the Revenue Divisional Oﬃcer by order dated 05- 01-2003, and that his allotment was only 320 white cards and 31 AAY cards, which was not disturbed, dismissed the writ petition. Aggrieved thereby, the present appeal. During the course of the arguments, learned counsel for the appellant submitted that the ﬁnding of the learned Judge is incorrect since as per the statement of allotment dated 05-05-2008, under which the quota allotted against fair price shop No.4555/1 was between 282 and 320 at Sl.No.24 and that he is only seeking supply of essential commodities from out of the quota allotted to the other shop of which he has been kept temporary incharge. Having considered the submissions and perused the record, we are of the opinion that the disputes of this nature cannot be resolved in exercise of the powers under Article 226 of the Constitution of India. However, we make it clear that the appellant cannot wholly be allotted the cards from out of the quota that belong to the other shops. If there is any shortage in respect of other shops for which he has been given authorization, the appellant can as well work out by proper application to concerned authorities, who shall consider and pass appropriate orders, in accordance with law. The writ appeal is accordingly dismissed. _____________________ B. PRAKASH RAO, J Date:13-10-2008 _____________________ G.CHANDRAIAH, J Usd
