THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.24665 of 2010 Dated 04th October, 2010 Between: K. Mogiliah …Petitioner And The Revenue Divisional Officer, Mahabubnagar, and another. …Respondents Counsel for the petitioner: Mr. L. Harish Counsel for respondents: Assistant Government Pleader for Civil Supplies The Court made the following: ORDER: This writ petition is filed for a Mandamus to set aside the order dated 20.09.2010 passed by respondent No.1, whereby he has cancelled the petitioner’s fair price shop dealership. At the hearing Sri L. Harish, the learned counsel for the petitioner, fairly stated that against the impugned order, his client has the remedy of statutory appeal and that the same is not availed on the ground that his client had no notice. However, on a perusal of the record, I am of the opinion that respondent No.1 has caused the notice served by affixture as the petitioner and his family members were admittedly not available in the Village. On account of the time limit stipulated by this Court in W.P.No.15993 of 2010, respondent No.1 would not have been left with any option other than ensuring service of notice through affixture. In this view of the matter, I am not inclined to entertain the writ petition filed bypassing the alternative remedy on the ground of violation of principles of natural justice. For the abovementioned reasons, the Writ Petition is dismissed with liberty to the petitioner to file an appeal before the appellate authority. If such an appeal is filed, the appellate authority shall dispose of the same in accordance with law. As a sequel to dismissal of the writ petition, W.P.M.P.No.31566 of 2010 filed by the petitioner for interim relief is disposed of as infructuous. ________________________ C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J 04th October, 2010 GHN
