THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE R.SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No.17363 of 2010 ORDER: In this writ petition, petitioner questioned the proceedings bearing No.G/967/2010, dated 07.06.2010, issued by the third respondent appointing the fifth respondent as a fair price shop dealer for distribution of essential commodities, in exercise of powers conferred under the Andhra Pradesh State Public Distribution System (Control) Order, 2008 (for short ‘the Control Order’) framed under the Essential Commodities Act, 1955. It is the case of the petitioner that she is better qualified for appointment as a fair price shop dealer than the fifth respondent. To question the appointment of the fifth respondent, the petitioner can as well prefer an appeal as provided under the Control Order, according to which, against the order of the Revenue Divisional Officer, an appeal lies to the Joint Collector. There is no reason to bypass the remedy of appeal for questioning the impugned proceedings. In view of availability of alternative remedy of appeal, this writ petition is rejected. However, liberty is given to the petitioner to prefer an appeal before the Joint Collector. I am sure if any appeal is filed by the petitioner, the same will be taken up and disposed of by the Joint Collector, as expeditiously as possible. No order as to costs. ______________________ R.SUBHASH REDDY, J 21st JULY, 2010. kvni
