THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE NOUSHAD ALI Writ Petition No.24815 of 2011 Date: 26.12.2011 Between: Ramavath Sakru …. Petitioner And State of Andhra Pradesh, Rep. by District Collector (CS), Nalgonda District at Nalgonda and others. …. Respondents THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE NOUSHAD ALI Writ Petition No.24815 of 2011 ORDER: Heard Sri Naga Praveen Vankayalapati, learned counsel appearing for the petitioner as well as the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Civil Supplies appearing for the respondents. 2. The petitioner was appointed as fair price shop dealer of Pottivani Thanda Village, Peddavoor Mandal, Nalgonda District. Initially, his authorisation was suspended by proceedings No.E2/1256/2008, dated 30.7.2009 of the 2nd respondent-Revenue Divisional Officer, Miriyalaguda, Nalgonda District, as the petitioner was found to have committed certain irregularities in running the fair price shop. Subsequently, his authorisation was cancelled by proceedings dated 27.5.2010 of the 2nd respondent. The petitioner preferred an appeal, which was admittedly dismissed by the appellate authority. The petitioner did not challenge the said order and allowed the same to become final. 3. It appears that prior to the cancellation of his authorisation, the petitioner submitted a representation dated 7.9.2009 to the 3rd respondent-Tahsildar, Peddavoor Mandal, Nalgonda District, who recommended to restore the petitioner’s authorisation by treating the irregularities committed by him as a first lapse. It appears that the petitioner also made several representations thereafter seeking to restore his authorisation in terms of the said recommendation. As the respondents are not inclined to consider the said representation, the petitioner has filed the present writ petition to declare the action of the respondents in not considering his representation dated 7.9.2009 as arbitrary and illegal. 4. On a consideration of the matter, I am of the view that this writ petition is misconceived. 5. As noticed above, the authorisation of the petitioner was cancelled on 27.5.2010, which was subsequently confirmed in appeal. If the petitioner is aggrieved, he could have carried the matter further in revision. Instead, the petitioner allowed the said cancellation to become final. Once the authorisation is cancelled and unless the said order is set aside in the legal hierarchy of remedies, the respondents are not competent to restore the same. In that view of the matter, there is no obligation on the part of the respondents to consider the said representation of the petitioner. 6. For the foregoing reasons, the writ petition is devoid of merits and it is accordingly dismissed at the admission stage. No order as to costs. 7. In view of disposal of the writ petition, W.P.M.P.No.30521 of 2011 is dismissed as unnecessary. ________________________ JUSTICE NOUSHAD ALI 26.12.2011.
