Counsel for the Petitioner: MR.K.V.RAGHU VEER Counsel for the Respondent No.: GP FOR CIVIL SUPPLIES The Court made the following : THE HON’BLE Ms. JUSTICE G. ROHINI WRIT PETITION No. 20130 of 2008 O R D E R: The petitioner is the authorized dealer of the fair price shop of Nandivargam Village, Banganpalli Mandal, Kurnool District. The petitioner’s authorization was cancelled by the Revenue Divisional Oﬃcer by order dated 04-08-2008. The said order is under challenge in this writ petition. Though various grounds have been raised assailing the impugned order, I am not inclined to go into the merits of the case, since an alternative remedy of appeal is available against the impugned order under the Statute. As a matter of fact, the petitioner has already preferred an appeal before the ﬁrst respondent along with an application for stay of operation of the order dated 04-08-2008. Accordingly, without expressing any opinion on merits, the writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the ﬁrst respondent to dispose of the appeal pending on his ﬁle as expeditiously as possible preferably with in a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. Till such time, the respondents are directed not to make any permanent appointment of dealer in respect of the shop in question. No costs. ______________ G. ROHINI,J Date: 16-09-2008 KLP
