Counsel for the Petitioner:MR.K.VENKATA REDDY Counsel for the Respondent No.: GP FOR CIVIL SUPPLIES The Court at the stage of admission made the following : ORDER:. Heard both sides and at their request this Writ Petition is taken up for disposal at the stage of admission. In this Writ Petition, the petitioner is seeking a writ of Certiorari by calling for the records pertaining to proceedings No. D/1511/04 dated 10.3.2005 passed by the first respondent, and declare the same as illegal, arbitrary, against the principles of natural justice, and consequently quash the same. The contention of the counsel appearing for the petitioner is that his application seeking appointment as Fair Price Shop Dealer for Vellatoor Village was not considered on the ground that he was not the resident of the same village and on the contrary the third respondent was appointed as the Fair Price Shop Dealer. He further submits that even though the Mandal Revenue Officer recommended and forwarded the name of the petitioner the competent authority had appointed the third respondent as the Fair Price Shop Dealer. All these above questions, purely factual in nature, can be agitated before the appellate authority. Hence, the Writ Petition is disposed of giving liberty to the petitioner to approach the appellate authority and seek redressal of the same. As and when the appeal is preferred, the appellate authority shall dispose of the appeal as expeditiously as possible. _________________ D.S.R.
