THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA Writ Petition No.25061 OF 2009 ORDER: 1 Petitioner is the fair price shop dealer of shop No.69 of 19th Ward of Ananthapur Town and the said authorisation was issued in his favour as early as in the year 1979. The white cards allotted to him are 733 and pink cards are only 51. Apprehending that his shop may be bifurcated into two, the petitioner approached the Revenue Divisional Officer and gave a representation on 19.11.2009, which was received by the Revenue Divisional Officer on 14.11.2009. However, as no orders have yet been passed, the petitioner approached this court and filed the present Writ Petition. 2 Heard both sides. 3 This Writ Petition, in my considered view, is premature inasmuch as there is no order of bifurcating the said fair price shop into two. However, as the petitioner is apprehending that the said fair price shop may be bifurcated into two, and in that connection he had already given a representation to the Revenue Divisional Officer, the Revenue Divisional Officer is hereby directed to consider said representation given by the petitioner and pass appropriate orders in accordance with the rules before any action for bifurcation is initiated. 4 The Writ Petition is accordingly disposed of. No order as to costs. ------------------------------ 18.11.2009 kvsn
