At the hearing, Sri T.S.Anand, learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that while the petitioner is not pressing the above relief, he, however, stated that the petitioner’s authorization has not been suspended and distribution of essential commodities pertaining to his shop cannot be entrusted to another dealer. I find force in this submission. So long as the petitioner’s authorization is not suspended or cancelled, he cannot be bypassed by entrusting distribution of essential commodities to another dealer or any other person. In this view of the matter, the writ petition is disposed of with the direction to the respondents to continue the petitioner as fair price shop dealer so long as his authorization subsists. As a sequel to disposal of main petition, WPMP.No.15068 of 2009 filed by the petitioner for interim relief is disposed of as infructuous. C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J 16th JUNE, 2009.
