THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R.SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No.10271 of 2008 ORDER: Petitioner is an authorized dealer of fair price shop No.4542 of Tilaknagar, Godavarikhani, Karimnagar District. This Writ Petition is filed seeking a mandamus declaring the action of the respondents in not supplying the essential commodities to the petitioner in respect of fair price shop No.4556/4542, as illegal and arbitrary. At the stage of admission, this Court by order, dated 02.05.2008, directed the respondents to release essential commodities to the petitioner for distribution, pending further orders. Though the Writ Petition is of 2008, no counter-affidavit is filed. During the course of arguments, it is submitted by the learned counsel for the petitioner that the authorization granted in favour of the petitioner is being renewed from time to time. When the authorization granted to the petitioner with regard to shop No.4542 of Godavarikhani is valid and it is renewed from time to time, there is no reason for not supplying him the essential commodities. As per the provisions of the Andhra Pradesh State Public Distribution System Control Order, if the authorized dealer commits any violation, it is open for the respondents to suspend or to take any other step but when the authorization is in force, without passing any orders, it is not open for the respondents to discontinue the supplies. As much as it is pleaded that the authorization granted to the petitioner in respect of fair price shop No.4542 is in force and in the absence of any counter-affidavit filed by the respondents, I deem it appropriate to direct the respondents to supply the essential commodities to the petitioner with regard to fair price shop No.4542, if his authorization is valid and renewed as on today. It is made clear that if there is any violation of the conditions of authorization, this order will not preclude the respondents to take appropriate steps against the petitioner. Subject to the above directions, the Writ Petition is disposed of. No order as to costs. _______________________ R.SUBHASH REDDY, J 30th AUGUST, 2011. kvni
