THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE NOUSHAD ALI WRIT PETITION No.21571 of 2011 Date: 01.08.2011 Between: S. Bhagyalaxmi … Petitioner and The Revenue Divisional Officer, Jagtial Division, Jagtial, Karimnagar District and others. … Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE NOUSHAD ALI WRIT PETITION No.21571 of 2011 ORDER : Heard Sri K. Venumadhav, learned counsel appearing for the petitioner, as well as the learned Government Pleader for Civil Supplies appearing for the respondents, and with their consent the writ petition is being disposed of at the admission stage. 2. This writ petition has been filed to declare the action of the 2nd respondent-Tahsildar, Sarangapur Mandal, Karimnagar District, in not supplying the essential commodities to the Fair Price Shop of the petitioner while the authorization is in subsistence, as arbitrary and illegal. 3. The petitioner is a Fair Price Shop dealer in respect of Shop No.2224 of Arpapalli Village, Sarangapur Mandal, Karimnagar District. On 17.7.2011, the 3rd respondent-Food Inspector, Jagtial, Karimnagar District, along with other staff inspected the shop of the petitioner and after detecting some variation in the stock of P.D.S. rice, sugar and kerosene, seized the entire stock available in the shop. Though the 3rd respondent submitted a report to the 1st respondent-Revenue Divisional Officer, Jagtial Division, Karimnagar District, for eventual action, so far no action has been initiated by the 1st respondent. The grievance of the petitioner is that even though the authorization of the petitioner, which is valid upto 31.3.2013, has been neither suspended nor cancelled, the 2nd respondent is not supplying the essential commodities to her shop. Therefore, she filed the present writ petition for the aforesaid relief. 4. There does not appear to be any dispute that the authorization of the petitioner to run the Fair Price Shop is valid upto 2013 and the same has not been interdicted either by suspension or cancellation. Therefore, there is no justification on the part of the 2nd respondent to withhold the essential commodities to the petitioner’s shop so long as her authorization is in subsistence. 5. In the circumstances, the writ petition is disposed of directing the 2nd respondent to release the essential commodities to the shop of the petitioner as per her entitlement so long as her authorization is not suspended or cancelled and the same remains in force. No order as to costs. ________________________ JUSTICE NOUSHAD ALI 01.08.2011. NOTE: Issue C.C. today. (B/O) Msr THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE NOUSHAD ALI WRIT PETITION No.21571 of 2011 01.08.2011 (Msr)
