THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE NOUSHAD ALI WRIT PETITION No.29202 of 2011 Date: 01.11.2011 Between: B. Pulla Reddy and another. … Petitioners and The Collector (CS) cum Joint Collector-II, Ranga Reddy District and others. … Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE NOUSHAD ALI WRIT PETITION No.29202 of 2011 ORDER : Heard Sri G. Arun Kumar, learned counsel appearing for the petitioners, as well as Sri D. Kodanda Rama Murthy, learned Assistant Government Pleader for Civil Supplies appearing for the respondents. Having regard to the short relief sought for by the petitioners in the writ petition as well as by the learned counsel at the hearing to direct the respondents to supply the essential commodities to the petitioner’s Fair Price Shops, with the consent of both the counsel the writ petition is being disposed of at the admission stage. 2. The petitioners are Fair Price Shop dealers of Shop Nos.1 and 2 of Manchal Village and Mandal, Ranga Reddy District. Earlier, on cancellation of their authorizations, the petitioners approached this Court by filing W.P.Nos.1536 and 1537 of 2011 and the same were allowed by a common order dated 29.1.2011 setting aside the impugned orders therein on the ground that the said orders were passed in violation of the principles of natural justice. Against the said orders, the respondents therein preferred writ appeals in W.A.Nos.112 and 114 of 2011 and a Division Bench of this Court disposed of the said writ appeals by a common judgment dated 3.3.2011 modifying the orders in the writ petitions with a direction to the appellants therein to furnish copies of the reports of the Deputy Tahsildar to the respondents therein (petitioners herein) with liberty to pass orders in accordance with law. Consequent upon the said orders in the writ appeals, the 2nd respondent-Revenue Divisional Officer, East Division, Ranga Reddy District, considered the matter and once again cancelled the authorizations of the petitioners vide proceedings No.C/4320/2010, dated 5.8.2011. Aggrieved by the same, the petitioners preferred an appeal in Appeal Case No.A7/701/2011 before the 1st respondent-Joint Collector (CS), Ranga Reddy District, who, by order dated 6.9.2011 remanded the matter to the 2nd respondent herein with a direction to examine the matter afresh, duly giving opportunity of personal hearing to the petitioners. It is stated that the 2nd respondent is yet to take up the matter for consideration in pursuance of the said orders of the 1st respondent. 3. The grievance of the petitioners is that even though their authorizations were initially cancelled, the said orders of cancellation have been set aside both by this Court in the said writ petitions as well as in the appeal before the 1st respondent and hence their authorizations are still valid and subsisting. Therefore, the respondents are under an obligation to supply the essential commodities by allotting the requisite quota as per the entitlement of the petitioners. The petitioners state that the respondents have released only kerosene oil, even though they are entitled for release of the other essential commodities. Therefore, the petitioners have filed the present writ petition seeking a direction to the respondents to continue to supply the essential commodities to their shops. 4. There does not appear to be any dispute that by virtue of the consecutive proceedings both in the writ petitions and in the appeal, the authorizations of the petitioners are still valid. Therefore, the petitioners are entitled for the supply of essential commodities as per their entitlement so long as their authorizations are valid and the respondents are under an obligation to supply the commodities until orders are passed by the 2nd respondent consequent upon the order passed by the 1st respondent remanding the matter to the 2nd respondent for consideration afresh. 5. In the circumstances, this writ petition is disposed of directing the 3rd respondent-Tahsildar, Manchal Mandal, Ranga Reddy District, to continue to supply essential commodities to the Fair Price Shops of the petitioners as per their entitlement until orders are passed by the 2nd respondent. There shall be no order as to costs. ________________________ JUSTICE NOUSHAD ALI 01.11.2011. Msr THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE NOUSHAD ALI WRIT PETITION No.29202 of 2011 01.11.2011 (Msr)
