IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD THURSDAY, THE THIRD DAY OF NOVEMBER TWO THOUSAND AND ELEVEN PRESENT HON'BLE THE ACTING CHIEF JUSTICE GHULAM MOHAMMED AND THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE NOOTY RAMA MOHANA RAO WRIT APPEAL No. 889 OF 2011 Between: Kajjapu Narender ..... Appellant AND The District Collector, Nizamabad District and others .....Respondents The Court made the following : JUDGMENT: (per Ghulam Mohammed, Hon’ble the Acting Chief Justice) The unsuccessful petitioner in W.P. No. 25659 of 2011 is the appellant. By order dated 14.9.2011, a learned Judge of this Court dismissed the writ petition holding that the appellant has no bona fides in seeking cancellation of authorization of the third respondent herein in respect of fair price shop No.44, Nizamabad. The fourth respondent, who is husband of the third respondent, was appointed as fair price shop dealer in respect of Shop No.44, Nizamabad in the year 1987 and on medical grounds the authorization was transferred in favour of the third respondent in the year 1992, who had been running the same since then. The petitioner, contending that the authorization is not transferable, submitted representations and since the same were not considered by the respondents the above writ petition was filed. The learned Single Judge observed that the petitioner is aged 36 years and since the authorization was transferred as long back as on 5.11.1992, seventeen long years have elapsed since the petitioner attained majority. The petitioner did not state as to what made him sit quiet for such a long time. Therefore, we are of the considered view that the learned Single Judge has rightly observed that the petitioner lacks bona fides in seeking to cancel the authorization of the third respondent. No reasons are forthcoming for the serious laches. Therefore we do not find any illegality or infirmity in the order impugned. Consequently, the appeal fails and is accordingly dismissed. No order as to costs. ______________________ Ghulam Mohammed, ACJ. _______________________ Nooty Rama Mohana Rao, J. November 3, 2011 MAS
