HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY W.P.No.22960 of 2010 Date : 4-10-2010 Between: Chinthalaboina Vivekananda Babu .. Petitioner And The Joint Collector, Sri Potti Sriramulu Nellore District, Nellore and others .. Respondents Counsel for petitioner : Sri P.Ravi Kiran Counsel for respondents : Assistant Government Pleader for Civil Supplies The Court made the following : HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY W.P.No.22960 of 2010 ORDER: This Writ Petition is filed for a mandamus to set aside order dated 23-9-2008 of respondent No.1. I have heard Sri P.Ravi Kiran, leaned counsel for petitioner and the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Civil Supplies. The petitioner is one of the aspirants for fair price shop dealership of K.K.Gunta village. Respondent No.4, who was successful in the selection, was accordingly appointed as the dealer. On the ground that respondent No.4 indulged in certain irregularities, respondent No.2 cancelled her authorization by order dated 23-9-2008. This order was questioned by respondent No.4 in appeal before respondent No.1. Respondent No.1, vide his letter dated 22-5-2010 allowed the appeal and set aside the order of respondent No.2 cancelling the authorization of respondent No.4. Feeling aggrieved by the said order, the petitioner filed the present Writ Petition. In my opinion, the petitioner has no locus standi to question the order of respondent No.1 restoring the authorization of respondent No.4. Having been unsuccessful in his attempt to get appointed as fair price shop dealer, he has lost interest in the dispute between respondent No.4 and the Department. It is not the pleaded case of the petitioner that he is seeking to espouse the public cause. As such, the legality or otherwise of the order passed by respondent No.1 cannot be adjudicated at the instance of the petitioner. For the above mentioned reasons, the Writ Petition is dismissed. As a sequel to dismissal of the Writ Petition, WPMP No.29307/2010 is disposed of as infructuous. ___________________________ C.V. NAGARJUNA REDDY.,J Date : 4-10-2010 AM
