PETITIONER(S) AND .....RESPONDENT(S) Petition under Article 226 of the constitution of India praying that in the circumstances stated in the Affidavit filed herein the High Court will be pleased to Counsel for the Petitioner:MR.S.BHOOMA GOUD Counsel for the Respondent Nos.1 and 2: GP FOR CIVIL SUPPLIES The Court made the following : ORDER: It is the case of the petitioner that She was appointed as fair price shop dealer of Shetpally, Sanga Reddy II, mandal, Lingampet, District Nizamabad by the second respondent/Revenue Divisional Officer pursuant to the notification dated 09.12.2002. As against the said appointment of the petitioner as fair price dealer, the respondents 3 to 5 filed an appeal before the first respondent/Joint Collector showing the Revenue Divisional Officer alone as respondent and without showing the petitioner as party. The appellate authority/Joint Collector without issuing notice and without the petitioner as party therein, set aside the appointment of the petitioner herein as fair price shop dealer and directed to renotify the fair price shop dealership. Questioning the said order of the first respondent, dated 28.08.2002, this writ petition has been filed. This Court while admitting the writ petition suspended the impugned order, dated 28.08.2002. No counter is forthcoming. The averments made in the writ affidavit shows that the appellate authority set aside the order without making the petitioner as party to the said appeal and without impleading her. Therefore, I am of the opinion that the order of the appellate authority is illegal and against the principles of natural justice. Having regard to the facts of the case, the writ petition is allowed setting aside the order, dated 28.08.2002 passed by the first respondent/Joint Collector.. There shall be no order as to costs. ______________ V.ESWARAIAH, J. Date:22.04.2008 Ccm To 1.2CCs to 2.2CD copies Form-NIC-OGS/WP{ }
