IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD (Special Original Jurisdiction) PRESENT: THE HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY TUESDAY, THE SIXTEENTH DAY OF JUNE, TWO THOUSAND NINE ONLY WRIT PETITION No.25379 of 2006 Between: Reddy Manappa. … Petitioner. And The Collector, Ranga Reddy District and four others. … Respondents Counsel for the petitioner: Sri B.Vijaysen Reddy. Counsel for the respondents: AGP for Civil Supplies. This Court made the following: ORDER:- In anticipation of bifurcation of his fair price shop, the petitioner filed the present Writ Petition. This Court by order dated 6-12-2006 directed status quo to be maintained by both the parties. In the counter-affidavit filed by respondent No.1 it is, inter alia, stated that the petitioner’s fair price shop have 1740 cards and that representations were made by many neighbouring villagers and people working in Karankote village for creation of a new fair price shop, but no action was initiated on the proposals submitted by respondent No.3 as the issue of ration cards work was pending as on that day and the proposals were not processed through respondent No.2. Since no concrete proposals were made for bifurcation of the petitioner’s fair price shop, the Writ Petition is premature. However, if the respondents initiate proposals for bifurcation of the existing shop, they are required to follow the guidelines contained in G.O.Ms.No.35 dated 17-9-2007 after giving notice to the petitioner. Subject to the above observations, the Writ Petition disposed of. --------------------------------------- C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY,J Date:16-6-2009 MNR
