SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No.26831 of 2011 BETWEEN B. Subramanayam. ... PETITIONER AND The Collector (Civil Supplies), Vizianagaram and two others. ...RESPONDENTS Counsel for the Petitioner: MR. M. KRISHNA RAO Counsel for the Respondents: GP FOR CIVIL SUPPLIES The Court made the following: ORDER: Petitioner is an authorized fair price shop dealer of Shop No.67 of Vizianagaram Town. In this writ petition, the petitioner has questioned the impugned order dated 05.09.2011 passed in Rc.2175/2010 by the Revenue Divisional Officer, Vizianagaram cancelling the authorization of the petitioner. 2. The impugned order also refers to an order of suspension pending enquiry passed earlier against the petitioner by proceedings Rc.No.2175/2010 dated 23.10.2010 after issuing show cause notice and considering the explanation filed by the petitioner. The present impugned order alleges that the petitioner has drawn essential commodities of 20 bogus cards and diverted the same to the black marked for illegal gain. Thus, he has violated the provisions under the Andhra Pradesh State Public Distribution System (Control) Order, 2008 and conditions of authorization. 3. Though it is argued by the learned counsel for the petitioner that the allegations are false and incorrect, it is to be noticed that against the orders of the Revenue Divisional Officer, there is an appeal provided before the Joint Collector and further revision before the District Collector. In view of the availability of efficacious alternative remedy under the Control Order, there is no special reason to entertain this writ petition against the order of cancellation of authorization passed by the RDO. The writ petition is dismissed on the ground that the petitioner is having alternative remedy by way of appeal under the Control Order itself. There shall be no order as to costs. __________________ R. SUBHASH REDDY, J October 11, 2011 Note: Furnish C.C. of the order by 14.10.2011 (B/o) DSK
