THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE ASHUTOSH MOHUNTA WRIT PETITION No.26495 of 2008 ORDER: The petitioner has prayed that a direction be issued to the respondents to appoint him as a temporary dealer in respect of Fair Price Shop No.18 of Khammam Town. It has been averred that the father of the petitioner was authorised to run the fair price shop in question. After the death of his father, the petitioner continued to run the shop. While so, orders were passed cancelling the dealership of the petitioner in respect of the said fair price shop. Hence, the petitioner approached this Court by filing this writ petition. This Court, on 04.12.2008, while admitting the writ petition, granted interim order. The learned counsel appearing for the respondents submits that there are no instructions from the Government by which a legal heir of the deceased can be permitted to continue as dealer to run a fair price shop and hence, he prays that the interim orders granted in favour of the petitioner be vacated. Learned counsel for the petitioner, however, submits that the respondents may issue a fresh notification inviting applications for the grant of fair price shop dealership and till such notification is issued, the petitioner be permitted to continue as a dealer. After hearing the learned counsel for the parties, and on perusal of the counter-affidavit filed by the respondents, it transpires that there are no instructions issued by the Government by which the legal heirs of the deceased can be continued as dealers to run a fair price shop since the same is not heritable. In the circumstances, the interim directions issued by this Court on 04.12.2008 are vacated. However, the respondents are at liberty to issue fresh notification calling for applications for running Fair Price Shop No.18 at Khammam. Till such notification is issued, the petitioner is permitted to continue as dealer of the Fair Price Shop in question. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of in terms of the aforementioned direction. No costs. ASHUTOSH MOHUNTA, J Date: 06.12.2010 va
