IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH, AT HYDERABAD THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE A. GOPAL REDDY WRIT PETITION No. 7569 OF 2006 Date:18.04.2006 BETWEEN: 1. Sk. China Khasim and another. …. PETITIONERS And 1. Mandal Revenue Officer, Vijayawada Rural Mandal, Krishna District, and others. …. RESPONDENTS THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE A. GOPAL REDDY WRIT PETITION Nos. 7569 OF 2006 ORDER: The petitioners have granted licence for distribution of kerosene under licence Nos.13/87 and 18/87. The dealership was tagged on to the first petitioner on expiry of one J. Koteswara Rao. Likewise, the second petitioner was also kept in-charge, on the death of one I. Nageswara Rao. While so, through the impugned proceedings dated 31.3.2006, the Mandal Revenue Officer, Vijayawada, without issuing any notice, appointed second and third respondents in the place of first and second petitioners. Questioning the correctness of the same, the present writ petition is filed contending that before appointing the second and third respondents no opportunity was given to them. It is well settled that the petitioners, who were only put as in-charge till the alternative arrangements were made, will not have any right to notice when the alternative arrangements were made, by appointing the second and third respondents as kerosene dealers, which has been earlier tagged on to the petitioners. The Writ Petition is misconceived, and the same is accordingly dismissed. No costs. __________________ (A. Gopal Reddy, J.) 18th April, 2006 Js.
