THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.9178 of 2011 Dated 07th April, 2011 Between: Atluri Rajeswara Rao …Petitioner And The Joint Collector, Krishna District, Machilipatnam and others …Respondents Counsel for the petitioner: Sri Narasimha Rao Gudiseva Counsel for respondent: AGP for Civil Supplies The Court made the following: ORDER: This writ petition is filed for a mandamus to declare the action of the respondents in not supplying essential commodities to the petitioner in respect of shop No.6, Ward No.9, Vissannapet Village and Mandal, Krishna District, as illegal and arbitrary. The petitioner’s fair price shop is stated to have been inspected on 16.03.2011 by respondent No.3, along with the Revenue Inspector and VRO of Vissannapet, and allegedly found certain irregularities. The stock available in the shop was seized under a panchanama. The grievance of the petitioner is that even though his fair price shop authorisation is subsisting as on today, the respondents have stopped allotment of essential commodities to his shop. In my opinion, so long as the petitioner’s authorisation subsists, he is entitled to distribute the essential commodities. As no reasons are forthcoming to withhold stocks to the petitioner, the writ petition is disposed of by directing the respondents to allot essential commodities to the petitioner’s fair price shop, till his authorisation is varied in any manner. As a sequel to disposal of the writ petition, W.P.M.P.No.11380 of 2011 filed by the petitioner for interim relief is disposed of as infructuous.
