Petitioner And The Joint Collector (C.S.), Khammam, Khammam District and another .. Respondents Counsel for the petitioner : Sri Bollam Lingaiah Yadav Counsel for the respondent : Assistant Government Pleader for Civil Supplies The court made the following : THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY W.P.No.25937 of 2010 ORDER: This Writ Petition is filed for a mandamus to declare the action of respondents in not supplying essential commodities to the petitioner’s fair price shop bearing Shop No.II (07026/07027) of M.V. Palem village and Polepally village, Khammam Rural Mandal, Khammam District as illegal and arbitrary. The petitioner’s fair price shop was inspected by Mandal Revenue Inspector-II on 13-10-2010. On the basis of certain irregularities allegedly noticed, proceedings under Section 6-A of the Essential Commodities Act, 1955 (for short “the Act”) were initiated. The respondents have stopped supply of the essential commodities to the petitioner’s fair price shop from the time of inspection. The petitioner has asserted that her fair price shop authorization has been intact as on today and therefore she is entitled to distribute the essential commodities. At the hearing, the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Civil Supplies, on instructions, submitted that so far the petitioner’s fair price shop authorization has not been suspended. So long as the petitioner’s fair price shop authorization continues to subsist, she is entitled to distribute the essential commodities. In this view of the matter, the Writ Petition is disposed of with the direction to respondent Nos.2 and 3 to continue the petitioner as fair price shop dealer by allotting the essential commodities to the shop in respect of which she holds authorization so long as the authorization continues to be in force. As a sequel to disposal of the Writ Petition, WPMP No.33122/2010 is disposed of as infructuous. ___________________________ C.V. NAGARJUNA REDDY.,J Date : 20-10-2010 Note: Furnish copy in (3) days. AM
