THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE NOUSHAD ALI W.P.No.22193 of 2008 ORDER: This Writ Petition has been filed suppressing the vital fact that the licence itself was temporary and restricted for the month of March, 2007 alone. The Revenue Divisional Officer, Narasampet/the first respondent herein appointed the petitioner as temporary Fair Price Shop Dealer by orders dated 13-02-2007 in Proceedings No.B/236/2005. The relevant portion is as follows : “Basing on the report of Mandal Revenue Officer, Duggondi and in view of the convenience of coupon holders and for timely distribution of ECs and smooth functioning of the PDS in the village Sri Rayarakula Ravi, son of Keshavulu is hereby appointed as temporary Fair Price Shop Dealer of Laxmipur Village, Shop No.2 of Duggondi Mandal purely on temporary basis for the month of March, 2007.” Notwithstanding the restricted licence, the petitioner filed this Writ Petition on 06-10-2008 stating in para 3 as follows : “I submit that I am resident of Lakshmipuram Village, Duggondi Mandal. I am an unemployed person and belongs to backward class community. I passed X Class and possessing requisite qualification and eligibility for being appointed as a Fair Price Shop Dealer. I submit that the 1st Respondent herein by his proceedings dated 13-02- 2007 in B/236/2005 appointed me as a temporary Fair Price Shop Dealer of Shop No.2 of Gollapalli of Lakshmipuram Village, Duggondi Mandal, Warangal District, since then I have been distributing the commodities to the cardholders without there being any complaint of whatsoever nature and maintaining true and correct accounts.” While making the aforesaid averment, the petitioner has deliberately omitted to mention the validity of the licence which was restricted only to the month of March, 2007 and obtained the interim orders to continue him as Fair Price Shop Dealer. The petitioner approached this Court with unclean hands. In view of the fact that he himself does not have any licence, he has no locus standi to question the third respondent being put in charge of the said Fair Price Shop. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is dismissed. The petitioner suppressed the material fact and obtained interim orders to run the fair price shop and had taken undue advantage by abuse of process of law. Such tendencies should be discouraged. The petitioner should, therefore, suffer consequences. He would, therefore, be liable and should pay exemplary costs of Rs.10,000/- to the credit of the Andhra Pradesh State Legal Services Authority, Hyderabad within a period of eight weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. If the petitioner fails to do so, the Secretary, Andhra Pradesh State Legal Services Authority, Hyderabad, shall recover the said amount according to law. The interim order dated 06-10-2008 in W.P.M.P.No.28915 of 2008 stands annulled with immediate effect. _________________ NOUSHAD ALI, J. 29th October, 2010. Note : Mark a copy to the Secretary, A.P.
