HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.24802 of 2010 Date 05.10.2010 Between: G.Vanaja. ..... PETITIONER AND The Government of A.P., rep. By its Principal Secretary, Consumer Affairs, Food and Civil Supplies Department, Secretariat, Hyderabad and others. .....RESPONDENT Counsel for the petitioner :Sri V.Ravi Kiran Rao Counsel for the Respondents : Assistant Government Pleader for Civil Supplies HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.24802 of 2010 ORDER: This Writ Petition is filed for a Mandamus to set aside the order dated 20.09.2010 of respondent No.3 cancelling the petitioner’s fair price shop authorization in respect of shop No.78, Nizamabad Urban, Nizamabad. I have heard Sri V.Ravi Kiran Rao, learned Counsel for the petitioner, and perused the record. The petitioner’s authorization has been cancelled by the impugned order on the ground that she has unauthorisedly allowed one D.Arun Kumar to run the fair price shop contrary to Clause 19 of the Andhra Pradesh State Public Distribution System (Control) Order, 2008 (for short ‘the Order’). At the hearing Sri V.Ravi Kiran Rao, learned Counsel for the petitioner, raised several contentions on merits. However, having regard to the fact that the petitioner has an effective alternative remedy of appeal under Clause 20 of the Order, I am not inclined to entertain this Writ Petition for adjudication on merits. In view of the same, the Writ Petition is dismissed, without going into the merits of the case, with liberty to the petitioner to avail the remedy of appeal. Registry shall return the original impugned order to the petitioner on his application. As a sequel to dismissal of the main petition, WPMP.No.31736 of 2010 filed by the petitioner for interim relief is disposed of as infructuous.
