THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO WRIT PETITION No.24239 of 2009 Dated:09.03.2010 Between: Draksha Mahila Dwakra Group. …Petitioner and The Joint Collector (CS), Krishna, At Machilipatnam, And others. …Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO WRIT PETITION No.24239 of 2009 ORDER: The petitioner is an Association of women. It was appointed as Fair Price Shop (FPS) dealer of Shop No.243, Vijayawada, Krishna District, on temporary basis. On 02.11.2009 the second respondent issued notification inviting the applications from interested persons for being appointed as regular FPS dealer. Assailing the same, the present writ petition is filed. Learned Counsel for the petitioner contends that initially the husband of the member who deposed the writ affidavit was the FPS dealer. After his death on 30.04.2009, the petitioner group which was promoted by the deponent was appointed as FPS dealer. The petitioner is providing financial help to the poor Dwakra members and therefore when it is already continuing as temporary dealer any regular appointment is arbitrary and illegal. This Court ordered notice before admission. After getting instructions, the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Civil Supplies submits that the petitioner is not even an applicant for selection of FPS dealer pursuant to the notification issued by the second respondent. This is disputed. Therefore, the matter was adjourned to enable the petitioner to produce the copy of the application. The same is not produced. Further, learned Assistant Government Pleader submits that the petitioner submitted the application to the second respondent seeking appointment as regular FPS dealer after filing the writ petition. From the submissions made by the rival Counsel as above, it becomes clear that the petitioner did not even apply seeking regular appointment pursuant to the impugned notification. Therefore, the petitioner cannot question the action of the second respondent in issuing the notification. No provision of law or clause in the Andhra Pradesh State Public Distribution System (Control) Order, 2008, has been brought to the notice of this Court which confers a preferential right on a Dwakra group which was earlier appointed as temporary FPS dealer. The petitioner has no right, much less, enforceable right to maintain the Writ Petition. The Writ Petition is misconceived, and the same is accordingly dismissed. There shall be no order as to costs. _______________ (V.V.S.RAO, J) 09.03.2010 vs
