He states that as per the scheme introduced by the Government, which is known as Special Nutrition Scheme to MPUP Schools, the petitioner’s school has been allotted 37 quintals of rice, which has to be supplied through the fair price shop of Madhavaram village. The allegation is that the said rice has already been released to the concerned fair price shop, however, the sixth respondent who is the dealer of the said fair price shop has failed to supply the said rice to the school and diverted the same to the black market. Though several representations have been made by the petitioner to the respondents 1 to 5 bringing to their notice about the failure on the part of sixth respondent to supply rice to the petitioner’s school, they failed to take any action. Hence, this writ petition seeking a declaration that the inaction on the part of the respondents is arbitrary and illegal. I have heard the learned Counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader appearing for the respondents 1 to 5. Since the representations made by the petitioner dated 10-06-2004, 17-06-2004 and 26-06-2004 are said to be pending before the respondents 1 to 5, without expressing any opinion with regard to the entitlement of the petitioner for supply of the rice as claimed by him, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition with a direction to the respondents 1 to 5 to consider the said representations and to pass appropriate orders in accordance with law as expeditiously as possible preferably within a period of two weeks from the date of receipt of this order. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is disposed of. No costs. __________________ 06th August, 2004.
