THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY Writ Petition No.31685 of 2010 DT.16.12.2010 Between: Smt.Ga.Lalithamma … Petitioner And The Tahsildar, Rly Kodur, YSR District and another … Respondents Counsel for the Petitioner: Sri V.Eswaraiah Chowdary Counsel for respondent No.1: AGP for Civil Supplies The Court made the following ORDER: ORDER: This writ petition is filed for a mandamus to declare the action of respondent No.1 in withholding a part of the essential commodities to the petitioner’s fair price shop (Shop No.33) of Bayanapalli Village, Rly.Kodur, Kadapa District and allotting the same to the shop of respondent No.2 (Shop No.32), as illegal and arbitrary. I have heard Sri V.Eswaraiah Chowdary, learned counsel for the petitioner, and the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Civil Supplies. The petitioner has pleaded that there are, in all, three fair price shops i.e., shop Nos.31, 32 and 33, for Obanapalli Gram Panchayat, that the petitioner is the dealer in respect of shop No.33 with 428 cards and that out of the said cards, on the influence of the local politicians, respondent No.1 has transferred 202 cards to respondent No.2 without passing any specific order. In my opinion, so long as the cards attached to the petitioner’s fair price shop are allowed to remain intact without any variation by way of an order in writing, the petitioner is entitled to distribute the essential commodities to the cardholders on all such cards, which are attached to her shop. If the petitioner’s plea that respondent No.1 has unauthorisedly transferred 202 cards to another fair price shop, such an action cannot be permitted in law. The petitioner is permitted to make a representation to the Joint Collector, Kadapa District and on receipt of such representation, the latter shall consider the same and redress the petitioner’s grievance, within a period of four weeks on receipt of the representation, in accordance with law. Subject to the above, the writ petition is disposed of. As a sequel to disposal of the writ petition, W.P.M.P.No.40294 of 2010 filed by the petitioner for interim relief is disposed of as infructuous. (C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J) Date: 16.12.2010 VGB
