THE HON’BLE Ms. JUSTICE G. ROHINI WRIT PETITION NO. 16272 of 2007 DATE: 31-07-2007 Between : Meppele Kavitha … Petitioner And The Revenue Divisional Officer, Kovvur, West Godavari District and 3 others. … Respondents THE HON’BLE Ms. JUSTICE G. ROHINI WRIT PETITION NO. 16272 of 2007 ORDER: This writ petition is filed seeking a declaration that the order passed by the first respondent dated 16-07-2007 thereby appointing the fourth respondent herein as the authorized dealer of the fair price shop No.19 of Peddevam village is arbitrary and illegal. It is to be noted that the remedy of appeal is available against the impugned order and as a matter of fact the petitioner has already preferred such an appeal on 18-07-2007 before the second respondent-Joint Collector. It is stated that the petitioner has also filed an application seeking stay of all further proceedings pursuant to the order of appointment dated 16-07-2007. Though the learned counsel for the petitioner raised various grounds assailing the impugned order, I am not inclined to express any opinion on merits since statutory appeal is pending before the second respondent. Instead, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition with a direction to the second respondent to dispose of the application for stay filed by the petitioner as expeditiously as possible preferably within a period of one week from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. No costs. ______________ G. ROHINI, J. Date:31-07-2007 KLP
