THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE NOUSHAD ALI W.P.NO.10227 OF 2011 ORDER Heard Sri Nimmagadda Satynarayana, learned counsel for the petitioner and the Leaned Government Pleader for Civil Supplies appearing on behalf of the respondents and with their consent, the writ petition is disposed of at the admission stage. The petitioner, who was selected for grant of authorization to run fair price shop No.23 of K.Jaggavaram, Village, T.Narasapuram Mandal, has filed this writ petition to declare the action of 2nd respondent- Revenue Divisional Officer, Eluru Division, Eluru, West Godavari District, in not issuing the authorization despite his selection, as illegal. Second respondent issued a notification in ROC No.2412/2010/C, dated 21-10-2010 inviting applications for selection of fair price shop dealers for various villages including K.Jaggavaram Village. The petitioner applied for the same and went through the selection process. It is stated that he was found meritorious and was selected. A letter in ROC No.2412/2010/C, dated 13-11-2010 was addressed by 2nd respondent to 3rd respondent for verification of antecedents, before issuing the authorization to the petitioner. Complaining that despite considerable time has elapsed ever since his selection, the authorization has not been issued, the petitioner has filed this writ petition for the aforesaid relief. In the ordinary course, this Court would have considered the request of the petitioner. But the learned Government Pleader, on instructions, reports that the notification dated 21.10.2010 in pursuance of which the petitioner was selected and also the selections made tentatively have been cancelled on the complaint said to have been filed by other aspirants. A copy of the proceedings in ROC.No.2412/2010/C, dated 25-2-2011 is placed before this Court. A perusal of the same shows that 2nd respondent received complaints from several aspirants that the selection was not made in a transparent manner, therefore, the selections are cancelled. In view of the said proceedings, canceling selection of the petitioner, it is not possible to grant the relief prayed for by the petitioner in this writ petition. The writ petition is accordingly dismissed. However, 2nd respondent shall communicate a copy of the order to the petitioner and the petitioner is at liberty to challenge the same availing an appropriate remedy available to him under law. No costs. ________________________ JUSTICE NOUSHAD ALI Note: Issue CC by three days. (B.O) rkk Dated: 18-4-2011
