IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE OF ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD Thursday, August 25, 2011. Present: The Hon’ble Sri Justice R. Subhash Reddy W.P.No. 5033 of 2008 Between: Kavuramma Dwakra Group Jonnalagaddavaripalem Village, CherukupalliMandal, Guntur District. ..Petitioner and The Revenue Divisional Officer, Tenali, Guntur District and another …Respondents The Hon’ble Sri Justice R. Subhash Reddy W.P.No. 5033 of 2008 O r d e r: This writ petition is filed questioning the order passed by the first respondent in Rc.No.1072/2007-K dated:20.2.2008 by which the second respondent – DWACRA group was directed to temporarily run the Fair Price shop of Jonnalagaddavari Palem village, Cherukupalli Mandal, Guntur District. 2. One Anagani SubbaRao was the authorized dealer of Fair Price Shop of Jonnalagaddavari Palem village for distribution of essential commodities. On the ground that he was involved in certain irregularities, the authorization granted to him was suspended, pending cancellation proceedings. It is stated that in view of his suspension, one Smt. B. Radha Rani, Fair Price Shop dealer of Kavuru village was kept in-charge of the said shop, which is 3 Kms away from Jonnalagaddavripalem. At that time, on the report of the Tahsildar, Cherukuapalli, the impugned order is passed entrusting the distribution of essential commodities to the 2nd respondent-DWACRA group as a temporary measure. 3. It is the case of the petitioner that the second respondent- DWACRA group is led by none other than the wife of the original dealer and as such there is no reason to entrust the Fair Price Shop in question to the second respondent group. 4. This court, while admitting the writ petition on 13.2.2008 suspended the impugned order and the said order is being continued all along. 5. When the matter is taken up for hearing the learned Government Pleader appearing for the first respondent submitted that temporary arrangement was made in view of the suspension of the original dealer, Anagani Subba Rao. It is further stated that during the pendency of the writ petition, the authorization granted to the dealer was cancelled by order dated:17.8.2010 by the primary authority and the same was confirmed by the appellate authority on 1.8.2011. 6. Now in view of the cancellation of the authorization of the original dealer, the vacancy has to be filled up on permanent basis. Taking into account the subsequent developments i.e., cancellation of the authorization earlier granted to Angani Subba Rao, the original dealer and also in view of the interim suspension order passed by this court on 13.2.2008 which is in continuance all along, I deem it proper to dispose of this writ petition directing the first respondent to fill up the vacancy on regular basis as expeditiously as possible, in view of the cancellation order passed on 17.8.2010. Till the vacancy is filled up on permanent basis, the same arrangement, which exists as on today shall continue to operate. 7. The writ petition is accordingly disposed with the above observations. No costs. _______________________ R. SUBHASH REDDY, J. August 25, 2011. *BVS
