Perused the material placed before me. The grievance of the petitioner is that pursuant to the cancellation of the authorisation of the previous dealer, on various irregularities, the petitioner was granted temporary authorisation from the year 2001 onwards, as a fair price shop dealer. But the stocks of essential commodities are not being supplied to her since recently by the respondents. Hence the present writ petition. It is to be seen that the petitioner was appointed as a fair price shop dealer on temporary basis. As such she has no vested right. The very purpose of entrustment of distribution of essential commodities to the people on temporary basis, is only keeping in view of the need of the general public and also pending appointment of a dealer on regular basis. No information is forthcoming as to whether any other dealer on permanent basis has been appointed or not in respect of the fair price shop in question. Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, suffice it to close the writ petition with a direction to the respondents to supply the stocks of essential commodities to the petitioner, if no new dealer on permanent basis has been appointed in respect of the fair price shop in question and if there are no complaints what so ever against the petitioner and if the temporary authorisation of the petitioner has not been either suspended or cancelled. Accordingly, the writ petition is closed at the stage of admission. No costs. -------------------------- kvsn 16-03-2005 To 1 The Revenue Divisional Officer, Narasaraopet, Guntur District. 2 The Mandal Revenue Officer, Nadendla Guntur District. 3 Two CCs to GP for Civil Supplies, High Court buildings, Hyderabad. 4 Two CD copies.
