Among others they also distribute Kerosene oil to eligible cardholders. In State of Andhra Pradesh for the sake of convenience of cardholders Kerosene is also supplied through licensed hawkers. It is the case of the petitioners that whenever a hawker dies, the ration cards, which were attached to such hawkers should be brought under the purview of the concerned fair price shop. They relied on various circulars issued by the Commissioner of Civil Supplies and the Joint Collector, Krishna, dated 26.04.1994, 25.10.2004, 03.04.2006, 07.09.2006, 23.09.2006, 28.10.2006, 25.06.2007, 02.11.2007 and 12.01.2009. Before approaching this Court they also made a joint representation on 05.12.2009 seeking implementation of these circulars, in vain. Therefore, they filed the instant writ petition. This Court while ordering notice before admission directed the Joint Collector, Krishna, to consider the representation made by the petitioners. As the petitioners relied on the circulars issued by the Commissioner of Civil Supplies and Joint Collector himself, at the first instance, the grievance of the petitioners requires to be examined by these Officials, especially, the Joint Collector, Krishna. If at this point of time any opinion is expressed by this Court, it might prejudice the petitioners as well as the respondents. Therefore, both these writ petitions are disposed of reiterating the direction issued by this Court earlier to second respondent to consider the representation made by the petitioners for allotting the Kerosene oil made to hawkers whenever such hawkers die. The Joint Collector may consider and pass appropriate orders within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. There shall be no order as to costs. _______________ (V.V.S.RAO, J) 02.03.2010 Note: Issue C.C in one week. B/o. vs
