THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.27688 of 2010 Date: 09.11.2010 Between: Muradi Bhikshapathi ..... Petitioner AND The State of Andhra Pradesh, represented by its Secretary, Hyderabad and others .....Respondents Counsel for the Petitioner: Smt. D. Pramada 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 notification dated 21.09.2010 of respondent No.3, whereby he has invited applications for filling up of vacancy of fair price shop dealer of shop No.2 of Bonala Village, Chegunta Mandal, Medak District. From the averments contained in the affidavit filed in support of this writ petition and the contentions advanced by Smt.D. Pramada, the learned counsel for the petitioner, it is evident that the impugned notification has been issued as a sequel to an order of bifurcation. It is also not in dispute that the order of bifurcation is amenable for being questioned in an appeal and that the petitioner has not availed the said remedy. In my opinion, this writ petition is filed questioning the consequential action of filling up the vacancy due to bifurcation is not entertainable unless the very order of bifurcation is questioned. The learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the petitioner is disabled from questioning the said order by filing an appeal as the same was not supplied to her client. In the light of this grievance, respondent No.3 is directed to forthwith furnish a copy of the order of bifurcation to the petitioner on his approaching respondent No.3. The petitioner is permitted to file an appeal within a period of three weeks from today. In order to protect the interests of the petitioner, who is continuing as fair price shop dealer, respondent No.3 shall not finalise the selections in pursuance of the impugned notification for a period of three weeks from today. Subject to the above directions, the Writ Petition is disposed of. As a sequel to disposal of the writ petition, W.P.M.P.No.35340 of 2010 filed by the petitioner for interim relief is disposed of as infructuous. ________________________ C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J 09th November, 2010 Note: Issue CC in five days.
