THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE NOUSHAD ALI Writ Petition Nos.381, 440 and 540 of 2011 COMMON ORDER : These three Writ Petitions relate to the same subject matter viz., rejection of applications of the petitioners for award of Rajeev Gandhi Grameen L.P.G. Vitharak Dealership at Nelakondapally Village, Khammam District, hence being disposed of together. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner Sri Kowturu Vinay Kumar in W.P.No.440 of 2011 and Sri V.V.Anil Kumar in two other Writ Petitions and Sri Thoom Srinivas, learned counsel for the Respondents. On the consent of all the parties, these Writ Petitions are being disposed of at the stage of admission. The notification dated 30-03-2010 was issued calling for applications for award of the dealership for distribution of L.P.G. Cylinders at Nelakondapally Village of Khammam District. According to the notification, the place of location of the dealership is Nelakondapally. The petitioners responded to the notification and submitted their respective applications in the prescribed manner. The respondents, however, rejected the application by orders dated 11-01-2011 on the sole ground that the petitioners do not have land in the advertised location and the claim of the petitioners that their land situated in Sangareddypalem Village does not satisfy the requirements of the notification. Aggrieved by the same, the petitioners have filed these Writ Petitions. It is contended that Sangareddypalem no longer remains as a separate revenue village as it has been merged with Nelakondapally Revenue Village and both are within the operative area of Nelakondapally Gram Panchayat. Placing reliance on a certificate dated 16-11-2010 issued by the Tahsildar, Nelakondapally, the petitioners contend that the impugned order is unsustainable and assert that they are entitled to be considered for grant of dealership. During the course of hearing, counsel for the petitioners and the respondents as well would submit that in similar cases this Court while permitting the petitioners therein to file fresh representations, respondents have been directed to consider the same within a particular time frame. Having regard to the said submissions, the petitioners are permitted to file fresh representations along with the material, if any, in support of their contention on or before 24-01-2011 and on such representation, the respondent-corporation shall consider the same and pass appropriate orders within a maximum period of three weeks thereafter. Till such time, the respondent-corporation shall not proceed with drawing of lots. The Writ Petitions are accordingly disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs. _________________ NOUSHAD ALI, J. 19th January, 2011. skmr
