The same is challenged in this writ petition on several grounds. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Government Pleader for Civil Supplies. Against an order of cancellation of dealership, an appeal is provided for under Clause 20 of the A.P.State Public Distribution System Control Order, 2001. The petitioner has not availed such remedy. This Court is not inclined to entertain a writ petition against an order of cancellation, when the petitioner is provided with an effective alternative remedy. Hence, the writ petition is disposed of, leaving it open to the petitioner to avail the remedy of appeal. It is further directed that if the appeal is presented within two weeks from today, the respondents shall not appoint any dealer on permanent basis for the Fair Price Shop in question. There shall be no order as to costs. _________ 15.12.2004 Note: issue c.c. in two days.
