IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD (Special Original Jurisdiction) WTUESDAY, THE FIFTEENTH DAY OF APRIL, TWO THOUSAND EIGHT ONLY PRESENT: THE HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.13079 of 2006 Between: Yedia Nageswara Rao … Petitioner AND The Mandal Revenue Officer, Penuganchiprolu, Penuganchiprolu Mandal, Krishna District & others. … Respondents Counsel for the petitioner : Sri Siva S. Lanka Counsel for the respondents: AGP for Civil Supplies This Court made the following: THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.13079 of 2006 ORDER:- WVMP.No.2620 of 2006 is filed to vacate interim order dated 29.06.2006 passed in WPMP.No.16254 of 2006 in WP.No.13079 of 2006. Since the scope of the interlocutory application and the writ petition is identical, the writ petition itself is taken up for hearing and disposal. A perusal of the impugned order passed by respondent No.2 shows that on certain commissions and omissions committed by the petitioner in running the fair price shop in question, his authorization was suspended. The petitioner assailed the said order in this writ petition. Under clause 20 (1) of the A.P. State Public Distribution System Control Order, 2001 (for short, ‘the 2001 Order’), the petitioner has an effective alternative remedy of filing appeal against the order passed by respondent No.2 suspending his authorization. Ordinarily, this Court will not entertain writ petitions bypassing the remedy of appeal. The petitioner failed to give any extraordinary reasons for this Court to deviate from this normal rule. The writ petition is therefore dismissed. Liberty is given to the petitioner to file an appeal within a period of two weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. If appeal is filed within the permitted time, respondent No.2 shall entertain and dispose of the same on merits, without raising any objection regarding limitation. As a sequel to dismissal of the writ petition, WPMP.No.16254 of 2006 and WVMP.No.2620 of 2006 are also dismissed. ____________________________ C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J Date: 15.04.2008 ES/
