BHANU WRIT PETITION No. 20902 of 2005 Between: M. Ramulu ..... PETITIONER AND The Collector (CS), Nalgonda District, Nalgonda And 2 others .....RESPONDENTS ORDER: Seeking a Mandamus, directing the 2nd respondent to forthwith implement the directions of the 1st respondent in pursuance of the letter No.CS1/951/05, dated 30.07.2005 and issue a fresh notification reviewing the appointment of the 3rd respondent by changing the reservation from General Category to Scheduled Caste, the present writ petition is filed. It is the case of the petitioner that the fair price shop of Kokkireni village is reserved for Scheduled Caste. The 2nd respondent issued a notification on 06.02.2004 calling applications from the Scheduled Caste candidates to fill up the post of the fair shop dealer for the said village and in pursuance of the said notification, several Scheduled Caste candidates applied for the said vacancy. But in the meanwhile the 2nd respondent surprisingly issued another notification on 04.12.2004 by changing the reservation from SC category to General Category for the same post for the reasons best known to him, and also appointed the 3rd respondent, who belongs to Backward Class. Aggrieved by the same the petitioner made a representation on 28.05.2005 to the 1st respondent, and the 1st respondent addressed a letter to the 2nd respondent on 30.07.2005 directing him to take suitable action by reviewing the appointment duly examining the field reality. But the 2nd respondent has not taken any steps. Hence the petitioner is constrained to file this writ petition. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Civil Supplies. Having regard to the facts and circumstances as explained by the petitioner, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition, with a direction to the 2nd respondent to take appropriate decision in pursuance of the directions issued by the 1st respondent vide letter dated 30.07.2005 and pass necessary orders, within a period of 4 (four) weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. With the above directions, the Writ Petition is disposed of. No order as to costs. _____________ K.C. BHANU,J Dated: 23.09.2005 Dsr
