Pursuant to a notification issued by the second respondent under Clause 5(1) of the Andhra Pradesh State Public Distribution System (Control) Order 2008 (Control Order), petitioner applied for being authorized as Fair Price Shop (FPS) dealer of Awalgaon Village of Madnoor Mandal in Nizamabad District. After conducting selections, second respondent appointed petitioner as FPS dealer vide authorisation dated 09.3.2009. Aggrieved by the same, fourth respondent preferred appeal in Case No.CS.6/898/2009, before the first respondent. By order dated 14.12.2009, the appeal was allowed on the ground that the process of appointment is vitiated by certain defects. The said order is assailed in the writ petition. This Court while ordering notice before admission on 31.12.2009, passed orders suspending the impugned order of Joint Collector. Fourth respondent has moved WVMP No.508 of 2010 along with counter affidavit. In the counter affidavit, while sustaining the order of appellate authority, it is pointed out that the entire selection process is vitiated by unfairness, collusion, illegalities and non-compliance with mandatory procedure. After hearing learned counsel for opposite parties and Government Pleader for Civil Supplies, and having regard to Clause 21 of the Control Order, which provides revision to District Collector, this Court is of considered opinion that when there is alternate remedy available, the writ petition cannot be entertained. However, material is placed before this Court to show that the petitioner distributed essential commodities for the month of February 2010. If that be so, petitioner may be continued for further period of six weeks as FPS dealer, Awalgaon. She is given liberty to file revision petition before the District Collector, Nizamabad, within one week from today. Thereafter, the District Collector shall dispose of the said revision within a period of four weeks. Learned Government Pleader is directed to inform the District Collector about this order. The writ petition, with the above observations and directions, is accordingly disposed of. _____________ March 05, 2010. (V.V.S.RAO,J) NOTE: 1. Dispatch order copy by tomorrow. 2.
