THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V. RAMULU Friday, 15th September, 2006 W.P.No.19090 of 2006 Between: S. Surender … Petitioner and The Revenue Divisional Officer, East Division. R.R. District at Goshmahal, Malakunta Road, Hyderabad. … Respondent THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V. RAMULU W.P.No.19090 of 2006 ORDER: This Writ Petition is filed seeking a Mandamus directing respondent to consider the representation purported to have been filed by the petitioner 21-8-2006 for restoration of his authorization for Fair Price Shop No.II at Kandlakoya village, Medchal Mandal, Ranga Reddy District, in the light of his experience, candidature and antecedents. It is the case of the petitioner that he being a fair price shop dealer of the said shop intended to contest for the Office of Sarpanch of Kandlakoya and Ahmedguda village in the Panchayat Raj Elections in July,2006; therefore, he submitted his resignation for the fair price shop and contested the elections, but was defeated. Having lost the elections, he sought for restoration of the fair price shop dealership on the ground that this was his only source of income and now he became unemployed. As such, he filed a representation before the respondent on 21-8-2006 seeking restoration of his authorization for the fair price shop by taking his financial position, experience and antecedents into consideration. Having heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader and having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, I am of opinion that this Writ Petition is misconceived. Once the petitioner resigned to enable him to contest the elections for the Office of Sarpanch, Kandlakoya and Ahmedguda village and having lost the election, he has no right whatsoever to ask for restoration of authorization of the fair price shop. The Writ Petition is, therefore, devoid of merits and is liable to be dismissed. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is dismissed at the admission stage. 15-9-2006 bsb/prk
