THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE P.S.NARAYANA WRIT PETITION NO.27434 of 2007 DATED 24.01.2008 Between: K.Sagar Reddy. … PETITIONER Versus The Joint Collector, Chittoor District, Chittoor and two others. … RESPONDENTS THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE P.S.NARAYANA WRIT PETITION NO.27434 of 2007 ORDER: This Court ordered Notice Before Admission on 24.12.2007. 2. The Writ Petition is filed for a Writ of Mandamus declaring the order passed by the 2nd respondent through his proceedings D.Dis.A3/3762/2007, dated 23.11.2007 is illegal, arbitrary and violation of Articles 14 and 21 of the Constitution of India and also contrary to terms of the notification dated 8.11.2007 and also guidelines issued under GO.Ms.No.53/2006 dated 6.10.2003 and consequently direct the respondents to appoint the petitioner as Fair Price Shop Dealer of Shop No.170 of Kalakatavaripalem H/o. Ammagaripalle village of Sodem Mandal, Chittoor District by setting aside the order passed by the 2nd respondent in his proceedings D.Dis.A3/3762/2007, dated 23.11.2007 and pass such other suitable orders. 3. It is not in controversy that the petitioner being aggrieved of the same, he had already filed an appeal before the 1st respondent and the same is pending before the 1st respondent. It is also stated that an application to stay the proceedings also had been moved before the 1st respondent. 4. The main ground of attack appears to be that the 3rd respondent being a student cannot be appointed as a Fair Price Shop Dealer. However, the learned counsel representing the 3rd respondent states that at present the 3rd respondent is not continuing studies. Sri Laxminarayana Reddy, however, would rely upon the material placed before this Court and submits that the stand taken by the 3rd respondent cannot be a sustainable stand. 5. This factual controversy need not detain this Court any longer for the simple reason that inasmuch as it is stated that an appeal is pending before the 1st respondent, let the 1st respondent consider this aspect and dispose of the appeal at the earliest point of time preferably within a period of four (04) weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. 6. The Writ Petition is disposed of accordingly. No costs. ------------------------- 24.01.2008 SSR
