THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA WRIT PETITION No.22595 of 2009 Dt: 21.10.2009 Between: Smt. C.Nagaratnamma W/o C. Veeranna Petitioner And The Revenue Divisional Officer Dharmavaram Revenue Division, Ananthapur & another. Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA WRIT PETITION No.22595 of 2009 ORDER: 1 The petitioner’s grievance is that without initiating any proceedings such as suspending or canceling his authorization as fair price shop dealer, abruptly the respondents stopped supply of essential commodities to her fair price shop of Kanakur Village, Settur Mandal of Ananthapur District and thus she is deprived of her livelihood. Hence she approached this court and filed the present Writ Petition. 2 Heard both sides. 3 If it is a fact that the authorization of a dealer is not suspended or cancelled, in my considered view, the respondents are duty bound to supply the essential commodities to the fair price shop of such dealer enabling him/her to supply the same to the cardholders. Here is also a case where the Respondents have stopped supply of essential commodities to the fair price shop of the Petitioner even without suspending or canceling her authorization as such. 4 In the light of the factual situation, this Writ Petition is disposed of at the stage of admission with a direction to the respondents to supply the essential commodities to the petitioner, enabling her to supply the same to the cardholders, if her authorization as fair price shop dealer is in force. No order as to costs. ----------------------- 21.10.2009 Kvsn
