THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA WRIT PETITION No.22760 of 2009 ORDER: 1 The father of the petitioner was the authorized fair price shop dealer of Andugula village of Madgul Mandal, Mahabubnagar District. When his father died in the month of May 2009, the petitioner approached the Revenue Divisional Officer and submitted a representation requesting him to appoint him as the fair price shop dealer of the said village. But, however, as no orders have yet been passed, the petitioner approached this curt and filed the present Writ Petition. 2 The learned counsel for the petitioner has drawn my attention to the proceedings issued by the Civil Supplies Department in CCS Ref. No. N/5/10045/2005 dated 29.06.2005 wherein a provision is made for consideration of the legal representatives of the deceased fair price shop dealer. 3 In my considered view, the said proceedings dated 29.06.2005 are no more in force in view of the latest Control Order i.e. A.P. State Public Distribution System (Control) Order, 2008. Further, as per Sub Clause 12 of Clause 5 of the said Control Order 2008, there cannot be any reservation etc. The said provisions reads as under: “In the event of the death of the Fair Price Shop dealer / Nominated Retailer/Hawker, the authorization issued shall stand cancelled and the legal heirs of the deceased are not entitled to transfer of authorization.” 4 In the light of the above provision the petitioner cannot claim to be the fair price shop dealer of Andugula village being the legal representative of his deceased father. Therefore, the petitioner cannot be given any relief in this Writ Petition. However, as and when a notification is issued in that regard, the petitioner also may submit his application and the respondent authorities may consider the case of the petitioner sympathetically for the reason that his father was fair price shop dealer of the said village. 5 The Writ Petition is accordingly disposed of. No order as to costs. -------------- 02.11.2009 C.C. in three days B/O Kvsn
