THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO WRIT PETITION No.20742 OF 2009 DATED:08.06.2010 Between: Dangeti Veera Venkata Siva Sai Subhash Babu .. Petitioner And The Revenue Divisional Officer, Kakinada, East Godavari District and others .. Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO WRIT PETITION No.20742 of 2009 ORDER: The petitioner is an unemployee. He states that he is interested in working as a Fair Price Shop (FPS) dealer. While he was expecting, the first respondent issued a notification inviting applications for appointment of FPS dealers in Kakinada Rural, East Godavari District and the third respondent was appointed on 02.03.2009. Assailing the appointment of the third respondent, the present Writ Petition is filed. The petitioner mainly contends that when FPS dealer is appointed, the first respondent is bound to issue notification as per the relevant guidelines vide G.O.Ms.No.52, dated 18.12.2008, and therefore, the appointment is unsustainable. The third respondent filed counter affidavit inter alia alleging that the petitioner is the son of a Government employee and therefore being ineligible as FPS dealer he has no locus standi to question the appointment of FPS dealership. The Assistant Government Pleader for Civil Supplies submits that the first respondent appointed the third respondent as a temporary dealer for a period of three months up to 30.11.2009 and therefore nothing survives in the Writ Petition. This Court has perused Form-H issued under Clause 5(8) of the Andhra Pradesh State Public Distribution System (Control) Order, 2008 (Control Order). Though it appears to be authorization in Form- H, Clause 2 thereof suggests that it is a temporary appointment pending regular appointment. Therefore, the Writ Petition is misconceived and is liable to be dismissed. As and when the first respondent issues notification, it shall be open to the petitioner to apply for the FPS dealership if he fulfils the eligibility criteria. The first respondent may take necessary expeditious action to fill up all vacancies of dealers to various FPSs in Kakinada Rural Mandal, East Godavari District. The Writ Petition, with the above observation, is dismissed. No order as to costs. ______________ (V.V.S. RAO, J) 08.06.2010 KH
