THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.25307 of 2010 Date: 15.11.2010 Between: Syed Anwar Pasha ..... Petitioner AND The State of Andhra Pradesh, represented by its Secretary, Civil Supplies Department, Secretariat, Hyderabad and others .....Respondents Counsel for the Petitioner: Smt.D.Pramada Counsel for Respondents: AGP for Civil Supplies The Court made the following: ORDER: This writ petition is filed for a Mandamus to set aside proceedings, dated 30.08.2010, of respondent No.3, whereby he has directed filling up of vacancy of fair price shop dealer of shop No.2 of Maddigatla Village, Bhoothpur Mandal, Mahabubnagar District. From the averments contained in the affidavit filed in support of this writ petition and the contentions advanced by Smt.D.Pramada, learned counsel for the petitioner, it is evident that the impugned proceedings have been issued as a sequel to an order of bifurcation. It is also not in dispute that the order of bifurcation is amenable for being questioned in an appeal and that the petitioner has not availed the said remedy. In my opinion, this writ petition filed questioning the consequential action of filling up the vacancy due to bifurcation is not entertainable, unless the very order of bifurcation is questioned. The learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the petitioner is disabled from questioning the said order by filing an appeal, as the same was not supplied to her client. In the light of this grievance, respondent No.3 is directed to forthwith furnish a copy of the order of bifurcation to the petitioner on his approaching respondent No.3. The petitioner is permitted to file an appeal within a period of three weeks from today. In order to protect the interests of the petitioner, who is continuing as fair price shop dealer, respondent No.3 shall not finalise the selections in pursuance of the impugned proceedings for a period of three weeks from today. Subject to the above directions, the Writ Petition is disposed of. As a sequel to disposal of the writ petition, W.P.M.P.No.32332 of 2010 filed by the petitioner for interim relief is disposed of as infructuous. C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J Dt.15.11.2010 VGB
