On an allegation that the petitioners colluded with the computer staff and obtained bogus cards, their authorizations were initially suspended and show cause notices issued. Against the suspension of authorizations, some of the petitioners approached this Court and this Court directed the appellate authority to dispose of the appeals within the stipulated time, while suspending the orders of suspension of authorizations. The Joint Collector disposed of the appeals against the orders of suspension of authorizations and directed the primary authority-the Revenue Divisional Officer, to pass final orders. The primary authority after a due process of enquiry passed orders of cancellation of authorizations of the petitioners. Against the final orders of cancellation of authorizations, the petitioners preferred appeals before the Joint Collector, Nellore. By orders dated 31.5.2008, the appellate authority rejected the appeals and confirmed the orders of the Primary Authority and thus of the orders of cancellation of authorizations. Aggrieved thereby, the petitioners preferred revisions to the 1st respondent on 12.6.2008. Apprehending and without any basis that the respondents will notify the vacancies as a result of the cancellation of the authorizations in favour of the petitioners in the fair price shops in Kovur Village and Mandal, these writ petitions are filed seeking a direction to the respondents not to make permanent appointments for the fair price shops, in respect of which the petitioners had authorizations, which were cancelled and which cancellations are subject to revisional consideration before the first respondent. No Notification has however been issued. Clearly, the Writ Petitions are based on speculation and apprehension and without any basis. There is no cause of action. The Writ Petitions are accordingly dismissed at the stage of admission, after hearing the learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned Government Pleader for Civil Supplies. As and when a notification is issued, the petitioners may pursue appropriate remedies. There shall be no order as to costs. GODA RAGHURAM, J Date: 1.7.2008 cvm
