(B) 2777/2004, dt. 28.3.2005 without considering the record and documents as illegal, unjust, arbitrary, without application of mind, extraneous, malafide and under the political influence and against the statutory provisions and consequently set aside the impugned order dt. 28.3.2005 passed by the 1st respondent in his Roc.No.(B) 2777/2004 and pass such other order or orders. Counsel for the Petitioner: MR.L.J.VEERA REDDY Counsel for the Respondents: GP FOR CIVIL SUPPLIES The Court at the stage of admission made the following : ORAL ORDER: Aggrieved by the action of the first respondent in cancelling her authorization as a Fair Price Shop dealer, by an order dated 28-3-2005, the petitioner filed this writ petition. The first respondent cancelled the authorization of the petitioner after conducting a detailed enquiry and on certain proved irregularities. However, against the said order of cancellation of her authorization, the petitioner without preferring any appeal before the appellate authority, which is an alternative and efficacious remedy available to her, has straight away come to this Court with this writ petition. Therefore, I am not inclined to continue this writ petition any more, since there is an alternative remedy of appeal before the second respondent is available to the petitioner. Accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed, at the stage of admission. No order as to costs. However, this order of dismissal does not preclude the petitioner in preferring any appeal before the appellate authority seeking redressal. -------------------- kvsn 20-04-2005 To 1 The Revenue Divisional Officer, Chittor District.
