THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.3504 of 2011 Date:15.02.2011 Between: Chilla Balaratnam ..... Petitioner AND The State of Andhra Pradesh, represented by Collector, Kakinada and others .....Respondents Counsel for the Petitioner: Sri N. Siva Reddy Counsel for Respondents: Assistant Government Pleader for Civil Supplies The Court made the following: ORDER: This writ petition is filed for a mandamus to set aside the proceedings dated 07.02.2011 of respondent No.2, whereby he has suspended the petitioner’s fair price shop authorization In my opinion, this writ petition cannot be entertained at this stage because the petitioner has an effective alternative remedy of appeal under Clause 20(b) of the Andhra Pradesh State Public Distribution System Control Order, 2008. The law is well settled that this Court exercising its discretionary jurisdiction under Article 226 of the Constitution of India would not ordinarily entertain a writ petition filed bypassing the alternative remedy. Therefore, I am not inclined to entertain this writ petition and adjudicate the same on merits. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is dismissed with liberty to the petitioner to avail the remedy of appeal. As a sequel to dismissal of the writ petition, W.P.M.P.No.4325 of 2011 filed by the petitioner for interim relief is dismissed as infructuous. ________________________ C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J 15th February, 2011 GHN
