THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.32960 of 2010 Date:25.01.2011 Between: A. Raghavulu ..... Petitioner AND The Collector, Khammam and another .....Respondents Counsel for the Petitioner: Sri Eada Seshagiri Rao Counsel for Respondents: Assistant Government Pleader for Civil Supplies The Court made the following: ORDER: This writ petition is filed for a Mandamus to declare the inaction of respondent No.1 in considering the petitioner’s representation for creation of a new fair price shop for Thummalapalli Village. It is the pleaded case of the petitioner that he is the resident of Thummalapalli Village, which is situated two kilometers away from Bayyannagudem, that as the villagers have been facing difficulties in travelling two kilometers to receive essential commodities, they have made a representation to respondent No.1 for bifurcation of the existing shop at Bayyannagudem and creating a new shop for Thummalapalli Village. The grievance of the petitioner is that though the said representation was made on 22.09.2010, respondent No.1 has not disposed of the same so far. Though time was taken, no counter-affidavit has been filed by the respondent. Be that as it may, as the grievance of the petitioner is innocuous in nature, the Writ Petition is disposed of with the direction to respondent No.1 to consider and take a decision on the representation dated 22.09.2010 stated to have been submitted by the Village Sarpanch and several other villagers of Thummalapalli Village, within a period of one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this order and communicate the same to the petitioner. As a sequel to disposal of the writ petition, W.P.M.P.No.41857 of 2010 filed by the petitioner for interim relief is dismissed as infructuous. ________________________ C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J 25th January, 2011 GHN
