HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V. NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PEITITON No. 22602 OF 2010 Dated 9th September, 2010 Between: S. Usha Rani, w/o late S. Ashok, aged 40 years, residing at H.No.53/65, Kurnool Town, Kurnool District ………Petitioner And The State of Andhra Pradesh, rep., by the Collector, Kurnool District and three others ………..Respondents Counsel for the petitioner : Smt. R. Annapurna Counsel for respondents 1 to 3 : Assistant Government Pleader for Civil Supplies The Court made the following ORDER: This writ petition is filed for a mandamus to set aside notification dated 22-02-2010 and consequential proceedings dated 10-04-2010 of respondent No.3 appointing respondent No.4 as fair price shop dealer of shop No. 35 of Kurnool Town and District as arbitrary and illegal. I have heard Smt. K. Annapurna, learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Civil Supplies representing respondent Nos.1 to 3. In response to notification dated 22-02-2010 issued by respondent No.3, the petitioner participated in the selection process by appearing in the written test and also for interview held by respondent No.3. By order dated 10-04-2010, respondent No.3 appointed respondent No.4 as fair price shop dealer of shop No.35 of Kurnool Town and District. In the present writ peititon, the petitioner has questioned the very process of appointment undertaken by respondent No.3 culminating in appointing respondent No.4 as the fair price shop dealer. At the hearing, learned counsel for the petitioner fairly conceded that against the orders impugned in this writ petition, the petitioner has a remedy of filing a statutory appeal. Ordinarily, this Court does not entertain writ petitions filed bypassing the effective alternative remedy. Inasmuch as the petitioner has such remedy available by way of an appeal, I am not inclined to entertain the writ petition. The writ petition is accordingly dismissed, without going into the merits of the contentions raised by the petitioner, with liberty to her to avail the remedy of appeal by raising all legally permissible grounds available to her. As a sequel to dismissal of the writ petition, WPMP No. 22819 of 2010, filed by the petitioner for interim relief, is disposed of as infructuous. C.V. NAGARJUNA REDDY, J Dated: 9th September, 2010 ks
