THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.RAMULU W.P.No.27977 of 2005 Dated:14.09.2006 Between K.Rama krishna …..Petitioner and 1.The Revenue Divisional Officer, Ongole, Prakasam District and antoher. …Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.RAMULU W.P.No.27977 of 2005 ORDER: This writ petition is filed seeking a Mandamus to declare the impugned notice dated 22.12.2005 in R.C.C.No.739/2000 on the file of the 1st respondent, where under the interviews were scheduled to be held on 30.12.2005, ignoring the petitioner herein, as arbitrary and illegal. It appears that the petitioner was temporarily appointed as Fair Price Shop Dealer for shop No.6, Thimmasamudram Village, Naguluppalapadu Mandal in the year 2000. While so, a notification was issued inviting applications from eligible candidates for filling up the vacancy of Fair Price Shop Dealership of Thimmasamudram Village, Naguluppalapadu Mandal. It appears that the petitioner has not applied for the same. However, a notice dated 22.12.2005 was published in Revenue Divisional Officer’s Office, Ongole calling 5 persons to attend the interview for the purpose of filling up the said vacancy. Aggrieved by the same, the present writ petition is filed. I am of the opinion that the petitioner was temporarily appointed as a Fair Price Shop Dealer of Thimmasamudram. Hence, he has no right to continue as such. May be, he is also entitled to apply along with others, when the notification was issued. It appears from the affidavit filed in support of the petition that the petitioner did not assert that he applied to the said dealership in pursuance to the notification issued by the 2nd respondent in this regard. Therefore, considering the candidature of the petitioner for filing up the vacancy of Fair Price Shop Dealer of Thimmasamudram, does not arise. Writ petition is devoid of merits and is liable to be dismissed. Accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed. No costs. ____________ 14-09-2006 rkk
