THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO WRIT PETITION No.5240 OF 2010 DATED:09.03.2010 Between: S.Md.Shafi .. Petitioner And The Revenue Divisional Officer, Nandyal, Kurnool District .. Respondent THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO WRIT PETITION No.5240 of 2010 ORDER: The petitioner was appointed as a Dealer of Fair Price Shop (FPS) No.10 of Banaganpalli Village and Mandal, Kurnool District, by proceedings in Rc.A.No.1385/2008, dated 30.06.2008, issued by the respondent. In the said proceedings, it was made very clear that his appointment is made on temporary basis. About more than a year thereafter, the respondent issued a notification, dated 22.02.2010, inviting applications from persons belonging to Scheduled Tribes to fill up the vacancies of FPSs in Ward Nos.3 and 6 of Banaganpalli Town. Aggrieved by the same, the petitioner filed the instant Writ Petition. The case of the petitioner as argued by his learned counsel is that there are already four FPSs in Banaganpalli Mandal reserved for Scheduled Tribes and therefore the reservation of Banaganpalli FPSs in Ward Nos.3 and 6, is illegal and arbitrary. No such proceedings de- reserving the said FPS from open category and reserving the same for Scheduled Tribes is placed before this Court. Therefore, the only remedy available to the petitioner is to challenge the same before the appellate authority namely the Joint Collector, Kurnool District. The Writ Petition is wholly misconceived and is accordingly dismissed. No order as to costs. ______________ (V.V.S. RAO, J) 09.03.2010 KH
