The Revenue Divisional Officer, Kurnool. 2. The Mandal Revenue Officer, Pamulapadu Mandal, Kurnool district. ...RESPONDENTS * * * ORDER: This writ petition has been filed to declare the action of the respondents in not allotting the essential commodities to the petitioner’s fair price shop, as illegal and arbitrary. 2. The grievance of the petitioner is that the second respondent did not allow her to lift rice to be distributed to the cardholders relating to her shop for the month of July 2005 without any valid reasons and allowed another person by name N.Naga Subbaiah to distribute the same. Against the said action of the second respondent, she submitted a representation dated 29.07.2005 to the first respondent herein. The first respondent also has not passed any orders on her representation. Aggrieved by the same, she submitted an appeal before the Joint Collector, Kurnool District. Since the Joint Collector has not taken any action, the present writ petition has been filed. 3. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Civil Supplies appearing for the respondents. 4. Admittedly, an appeal is pending before the Joint Collector against the orders passed by the second respondent. Appropriate decision has to be taken by the Joint Collector. 5. Therefore, without going into the merits of the writ petition, the writ petition is disposed of directing the Joint Collector, Kurnool District, to dispose of the appeal preferred by the petitioner within four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. No costs. ________________ K.C.BHANU, J. Date: 07th October 2005. BSB
