HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.24789 of 2010 Date 05.10.2010 Between: M.Govindaswamy ..... PETITIONER AND The Government of A.P., rep. By its Secretary, Civil Supplies Department, Secretariat, Hyderabad and others. .....RESPONDENT Counsel for the petitioner :Sri K.Ashok Reddy Counsel for the Respondent : Assistant Government Pleader for Civil Supplies HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.24789 of 2010 ORDER: This Writ Petition is filed for a Certiorari to quash proceedings No.G/1517/2010 dated 19.08.2010 of respondent No.2. I have heard Sri K.Ashok Reddy, learned Counsel for the petitioner, and perused the record. By the impugned order, respondent No.2 has cancelled the authorization of the petitioner’s fair price shop of Kuchipudi Village, Kodada Revenue Mandal, Nalgonda District. On the petitioner’s own pleadings, he has filed an appeal before the Joint Collector, Nalgonda District and that the said appeal is pending. In my opinion, when the petitioner has already availed the alternative remedy of appeal, he is not entitled to invoke the extraordinary jurisdiction of this Court to question the very same order, which is the subject matter of appeal. In this view of the matter, the Writ Petition is dismissed, without going into the merits of the case, without prejudice to the right of the petitioner to pursue the appeal stated to be pending before the Joint Collector, Nalgonda District. The Joint Collector, Nalgonda District shall dispose of the appeal, if not already done, within a period of six weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. As a sequel to dismissal of the main petition, WPMP.No.31722 of 2010 filed by the petitioner for interim relief is disposed of as infructuous. C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY,J Date:05.10.2010 Note:Furnish copy within one week. bo usd
