HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R. SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No.14418 of 2010 Dated: 27-07-2010 Between: G. Rama Devi & another. … Petitioners And The Revenue Divisional Officer, Warangal & another. … Respondents HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R. SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No.14418 of 2010 ORDER: The petitioners are the fair price shop dealers appointed for Shop Nos.281/1 and 234/2 in Warangal District. This writ petition is filed by them, against the order, dated 21.06.2010, issued in Proceedings No.A1/1028/2010, by the 2nd respondent, rejecting their applications to continue them as dealers till regular dealers are appointed. The vacancies of fair price shop dealers for the shops for which the petitioners are presently holding authorisation under the provisions of the A.P. Public Distribution System (Control) Order, 2001, were notified in the year 2007, for making regular appointments. After following due procedure, petitioners were selected for Shop Nos.281/1 and 234/2. However, the said appointments were came to be questioned by way of appeal on the ground that the notification was issued without providing reservations in terms of G.O.Ms.No.53, dated 06.10.2003. On the said ground, the appeals were allowed and though the petitioners carried the matters in revision, the revision petitions are dismissed, and ultimately, confirmed by this Court in Writ Appeal No.660 of 2008. By virtue of cancellation of dealerships by the appellate authority, as confirmed by this Court, the petitioners cannot continue as dealers. However, pending issuance of fresh notification for making selections for appointment of dealers, the petitioners herein made a representation to continue them as temporary dealers till appointments are made. This Court, by an order, dated 23.06.2010, granted directions to continue the petitioners as dealers by keeping it open to the respondents to issue fresh notification for making appointments. Even according to the learned Government Pleader, presently, the petitioners are being continued as dealers. There is no reason to dispense the petitioners so as to appoint third parties again on temporary basis. In that view of the matter, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition with a direction to the respondents to issue fresh notification to appoint fair price shop dealers for the shops in question, on permanent basis, as expeditiously as possible. Pending issuance of notification and making selections, respondents are directed to continue the petitioners as dealers. Subject to the above directions, the writ petition is disposed of. No order as to costs. ______________________ R. SUBHASH REDDY, J 27th July 2010 ajr
