THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE NOUSHAD ALI WRIT PETITION No.27026 of 2011 Date: 28.09.2011 Between: B. Kistaiah … Petitioner and The District Collector, Medak District at Sangareddy and another. … Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE NOUSHAD ALI WRIT PETITION No.27026 of 2011 ORDER : Heard Sri S. Satyanarayana Rao, learned counsel appearing for the petitioner, as well as the learned Government Pleader for Civil Supplies appearing for the respondents. 2. Admittedly, the petitioner has been appointed as a Fair Price Shop dealer of Mathpally Village, Kondapaka Mandal, Medak District. In this writ petition, he is seeking a declaration that he is entitled for being appointed as a dealer on permanent basis. 3. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is a member of Scheduled Caste community and there is no other person available from the Scheduled Tribe community. Therefore, the petitioner is entitled to be appointed on permanent basis. 4. I am unable to accept the said contention for the reasons that, firstly; the petitioner cannot claim as a matter of right to appoint him as a dealer on permanent basis, and secondly; even if there is no other person available from the Scheduled Tribe community, as per the orders of the State Government issued in G.O.Ms.No.4, Consumer Affairs, Food and Civil Supplies (CS.I) Department, dated 19.2.2011, all vacancies of Fair Price Shops shall be notified through print media and appoint dealers only by inviting applications. This procedure shall be followed even in the case of the shops reserved for Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes. Therefore, the petitioner cannot seek to come through an extra legal method for regularization of his appointment. Further- more, the petitioner has already been issued a show-cause notice dated 12.2.2011 for cancellation of his temporary authorisation as allegedly he is continuing as a Fair Price Shop dealer without any order. 5. For the aforesaid reasons, the writ petition is misconceived and is accordingly dismissed, at the admission stage. No order as to costs. ________________________ JUSTICE NOUSHAD ALI 28.09.2011.
