IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD (Special Original Jurisdiction) MONDAY, THE TWENTY SEVENTH DAY OF JULY TWO THOUSAND AND NINE PRESENT THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.14964 of 2009 Between: Chiliveru. Rani, W/o. Mogili, R/o. Ghanpur Village and Mandal, Warangal District. ..... PETITIONER AND 1 The State of A.P., Rep by its Principal Secretary for Civil Supplies, Secretariate, Hyderabad. 2 The District Collector, Warangal. 3 The Sub Collector Mulugu, Warangal District. 4 Kumari, Dudapaka, Sumalatha, W/o. Mogili Parakala, R/o. Ghanpur Village and Mandal, Warangal District. .....RESPONDENTS Counsel for the Petitioner:MR.PULLA RAO YELLANKI Counsel for Respondent Nos.1 to 3:AGP FOR CIVIL SUPPLIES The Court made the following : ORDER: This writ petition is filed for a mandamus to set aside order, dated 19.06.2009 passed by respondent No.3 appointing respondent No.4 as fair price shop dealer of Ghanpur Village and Mandal, Warangal District. At the hearing, Sri Pulla Rao Yellanki, learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that respondent No.4 is studying Teacher Training Course and therefore, her appointment is contrary to the existing guidelines. In my view, the writ petition filed bypassing the alternative remedy of appeal need not be entertained, even assuming that the order of appointment of respondent No.4 is contrary to the guidelines and consequently illegal. An illegal order can be corrected in appeal and the ground of illegality does not enable the petitioner to file the writ petition without availing the alternative remedy of appeal, which, undoubtedly, is an efficacious one. Therefore, the writ petition is dismissed without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case with liberty to the petitioner to avail the remedy of appeal. As a sequel to dismissal of main petition, WPMP.No.19649 of 2009 filed by the petitioner for interim relief is disposed of as infructuous. C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J 27th JULY, 2009. Note: issue c.c. in two (2) days. kvni
