THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE R.SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No. 2481 OF 2010 Dated: 19-02-2010 Between: Kotha Karunakar ... PETITIONER AND The Revenue Divisional Officer, Mahaboobnagar, Mahaboobnagar District ... RESPONDENT THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE R.SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No. 2481 OF 2010 ORDER: Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Civil Supplies appearing for the respondent. In this writ petition, the petitioner seeks a direction by way of mandamus to declare the action of the respondent in not giving him appointment order to run the Fair Price Shop of Chilakamarri Village, even after selecting him as illegal and arbitrary. On instructions, it is submitted by the learned Government Pleader that the petitioner was provisionally selected, but immediately after his selection since there were some complaints against him he was not appointed and another person by name K. Ramesh belonging to scheduled caste who also appeared for the interview was appointed to run the fair price shop in question. Mere provisional selection will not confer any right on the petitioner for appointment. Since it is stated that another person has already been appointed, it is open to the petitioner to question the said appointment by availing the remedies available to him under the provisions of the Andhra Pradesh Public Distribution System (Control) Order, 2008. Therefore, the relief as prayed for by the petitioner cannot be granted in this writ petition. Subject to the above observation, the writ petition stands disposed of. No order as to costs. R.
