IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD (Special Original Jurisdiction) PRESENT THE HON’BLE THE CHIEF JUSTICE SHRI NISAR AHMAD KAKRU AND THE HON’BLE SHRI JUSTICE VILAS V. AFZULPURKAR WRIT APPEAL NO.650 OF 2011 DATED12.9.2011 Between: M. Kumar … Appellant And The District Collector Ranga Reddy District Lakdikapool, Hyderabad and others … Respondents THE HON’BLE THE CHIEF JUSTICE SHRI NISAR AHMAD KAKRU AND THE HON’BLE SHRI JUSTICE VILAS V. AFZULPURKAR WRIT APPEAL NO.650 OF 2011 JUDGMENT: (per the Hon’ble the Chief Justice Shri Nisar Ahmad Kakru) Admittedly the appellant – writ petitioner, a temporary fair price shop dealer, is son of a Government employee and his such relationship resulted in cancellation of fair price shop authorization on the strength of Clause 12(iii) of G.O. Ms. No.52 Consumer Affairs, Food and Civil Supplies (CS.I) Department, dated 18.12.2008 which reads; “12(iii). Close relatives of Government employees specially those working in Civil Supplies Department or Revenue Department or the Civil Supplies Corporation or Village Administrative Officer of the village shall not be appointed as F.P. shop dealers.” There is no denying that appellant’s appointment is on temporary basis which could not be confirmed because of mandate of the above clause. Contention of the learned counsel for the appellant before the Writ Court as also before us is that only those government employees are liable to suffer by above said provision whose relatives are working in Civil Supplies Department or the Civil Supplies Corporation or Village Administrative Officer of the Village, which could not receive the approval of the learned single Judge on the ground that the clause includes close relatives of all the government employees besides the employees of the government departments referred therein. We are in agreement with the view taken. Dismissed. VILAS V. AFZULPURKAR, J NISAR AHMAD KAKRU, CJ 12-9-2011 B. Narsinga Rao
