THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO WRIT PETITION No.5591 of 2010 Dated:11.03.2010 Between: Smt.S.Usha Rani. ...Petitioner And The Revenue Divisional Officer, Kurnool, Kurnool District, And another. ...Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO WRIT PETITION No.5591 of 2010 ORDER: The husband of the petitioner was FPS dealer of shop No.35, Peta Kurnool. After his death on 06.06.2004, on a request made by the petitioner, the Revenue Divisional Officer, Kurnool, by proceedings dated 16.08.2004, appointed the petitioner as FPS dealer on temporary basis until further orders. About six years thereafter, the Revenue Divisional Officer issued selection notification dated 22.02.2010 inviting applications from eligible candidates for being appointed as regular FPS dealer. The same is assailed in the writ petition. The learned Counsel for the petitioner submits that as per the authorization given to the petitioner in Form-II under Clause 5(5) of the Andhra Pradesh State Public Distribution System (Control) Order, 2008, the authorization is valid for the period specified therein, and therefore, till the expiry of temporary authorization, the Revenue Divisional Officer cannot appoint permanent dealer. Insofar as the temporary appointment made by the Revenue Divisional Officer, Kurnool, is concerned, the appointment was made on 16.08.2004 specifically making it clear that the appointment is on temporary basis until further orders. Therefore, the submission cannot be countenanced. Clause 2 requires specific mention of validity period. But, curiously the authorization given to the petitioner is silent on this aspect although the printed form contains the validity date as 31.03.2010. In the absence of any specific mention in the authorization regarding validity period one should construe the order of the Revenue Divisional Officer appointing the petitioner as temporary dealer. As the same is made until further orders the petitioner cannot claim any right. Further, a perusal of the appointment order would reveal that the petitioner requested for being appointed on temporary basis. Having requested so, she cannot turn around and claim dealership till the expiry of the period. The Writ Petition is misconceived, and the same is accordingly dismissed. There shall be no order as to costs. ____________ (V.V.S.RAO, J) 11.03.2010 vs
