Ramannagudem Village Atmakur (S) Mandal Nalgonda Dt. .....RESPONDENTS Counsel for the Petitioners: MR.BUJJIBABU DAVULURI Counsel for Respondent Nos.1 to 3: GP FOR CIVIL SUPPLIES Counsel for Respondent No.4: ------ The Court made the following : Order: This Writ Petition is filed for a writ of Mandamus to set aside order dated 10-03-2008 passed by respondent No.1, whereby he appointed respondent No.4 as fair price shop dealer of Ramannagudem –2 fair price shop, Atmakur Mandal. Heard Sri D.Bujjibabu, learned Counsel for the petitioners, and perused the record. Since the petitioners have an effective alternative remedy of filing an appeal against the order impugned in this Writ Petition, I am not inclined to go into the merits of the contentions raised by them in this Writ Petition. The petitioners failed to give any reason for this Court to entertain this Writ Petition filed bypassing such a remedy. In view of the same, the Writ Petition is dismissed with liberty to the petitioners to file an appeal under Clause 20 (1) of the Andhra Pradesh State Public Distribution System Control Order, 2001, against the order impugned in this Writ Petition. As a sequel to dismissal of the Writ Petition, WPMP.No.13903 of 2008 filed by the petitioners for interim relief is disposed of as infructuous. _____________________ (C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J) 7th May, 2008 LUR /GHN
