IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD (Special Original Jurisdiction) THURSDAY, THE FIRST DAY OF MAY TWO THOUSAND AND EIGHT PRESENT THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION NO : 10090 of 2008 Between: Smt.T.V.Padmavathi W/o.Chandrasekhar Gollapudi village, Vijayawada Rural Mandal Krishna District ..... PETITIONER AND 1 The Sub Collector, Vijayawada ,Krishna District 2 The Tahasildar,Vijayawada Rural Mandal Krishna District .....RESPONDENTS Counsel for the Petitioner:MR. M.M.M.SRINIVASA RAO FOR MR.KOWTURU VINAYA KUMAR Counsel for the Respondents: AGP FOR CIVIL SUPPLIES The Court made the following : ORDER: This writ petition is filed for a writ of mandamus to set aside proceedings, dated 23.04.2008 whereby the petitioner’s fair price shop authorization in respect of Shop No.18, Gollapudi Village, Vijayawada Rural Mandal, Krishna District, has been suspended. Heard Sri M.M.M.Srinivasa Rao, learned counsel for the petitioner and perused the record. Though the learned counsel for the petitioner, at the hearing, sought to point out illegalities in the impugned order, I am not inclined to adjudicate on the validity or otherwise of the said order, because the petitioner has an effective remedy of filing appeal under Clause 20(1) of the Andhra Pradesh State Public Distribution System Control Order, 2001 before the Joint Collector concerned. This Court ordinarily does not entertain writ petitions filed bypassing an effective alternative remedy. The petitioner failed to show any extraordinary reason for this Court to make a departure from this rule. In view of the same, the writ petition is dismissed. The learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that in the interests of justice, respondent No.1 may be directed to complete the enquiry early. Since I find this request reasonable, respondent No.1 is directed to complete the enquiry and pass orders after giving an opportunity of personal hearing to the petitioner, within a period of six (6) weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. As a sequel to dismissal of main petition, WPMP.No.13266 of 2008 filed by the petitioner for interim relief is disposed of as infructuous. C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J 1st MAY, 2008 kvni
