Her complaint is that for the month of December, 2008 though she completed the formalities like paying the amount, monthly quota of essential commodities was not released. Therefore, she seeks a direction from this Court. Counter affidavit is filed by first respondent inter alia stating that the District Collector issued proceedings on 27.02.2008 for bifurcation of existing FPSs in Ranga Reddy District and for creation of 328 new shops. The same was assailed in W.P.No.5426 of 2008. This Court passed orders on 17.10.2008 directing District Collector to issue notices to the petitioners therein before passing bifurcation orders. Accordingly, notices were issued and various dealers submitted their explanations inter alia contending that the card strength may be increased to 1,500 per each shop. The District Collector then sought clarification from the Commissioner of Civil Supplies. In response thereto, the Commissioner of Civil Supplies vide letter dated 21.02.2009 directed the District Collector to follow the guidelines issued by G.O.Ms.No.35, dated 17.09.2007. In view of the same, an application was filed pending writ petitions. The interim orders are vacated by the High Court. Now it is proposed by Tahsildar, Shankarpally, to divide Janwada FPS into Janwada FPS-I with 609 ration cards and Janwada FPS-II with 539 ration cards. The other allegations made by petitioner are denied. The allegation that the quota for December, 2008 was not supplied is, however, not denied. This Court passed orders on 31.12.2009 directing respondents to release essential commodities to petitioner. The counsel for petitioner submits that till now the petitioner is receiving the essential commodities for distribution to cardholders. Therefore, the writ petition is disposed of observing that till appropriate proceedings are issued by District Collector bifurcating Janwada FPS No.10, the petitioner’s shop shall be allowed to continue to supply essential commodities to all the card holders attached to her shop. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs. _______________ (V.V.S.RAO, J) 12.04.2010 Pln
