THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO WRIT PETITION No.26822 of 2009 Dated:09.03.2010 Between: Smt.Manju Bhargavi. …Petitioner and The District Collector, Chittoor, Chittoor District, And others. …Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO WRIT PETITION No.26822 of 2009 ORDER: The petitioner is a resident of Mogili Venkatagiri Village of Bangarupalyam Mandal in Chittoor District. She filed the instant Writ Petition assailing the notification dated 20.11.2009 issued by the second respondent inviting applications from OC candidates for appointment of dealers of M.V.Giri Fair Price Shops (FPS). The petitioner belongs to BC(B). She, statedly, was appointed as temporary FPS dealer of M.V.Giri Village. It is her case that all the years the M.V.Giri FPS was reserved for BC candidates and the second respondent issued the notification inviting the applications from OC candidates in violation of the guidelines issued in G.O.Ms.No.53, dated 06.10.2003. Therefore, she filed the instant writ petition assailing the notification dated 20.11.2009 issued by the second respondent. This Court heard learned Counsel for the petitioner and the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Civil Supplies. Reliance placed by the petitioner on G.O.Ms.No.53, dated 06.10.2003 is misconceived. After promulgation of the Andhra Pradesh State Public Distribution System (Control) Order, 2008, the Government of Andhra Pradesh issued guidelines for appointment of FPS dealers in G.O.Ms.No.52, dated 18.12.2008. As per these guidelines, the revenue division is a unit for the purpose of enforcing the reservation – Scheduled Castes 15%, Scheduled Tribes 6%, Physically Handicapped 3% and Backward Classes 25%. The petitioner has not placed any material before this Court with regard to the total number of shops in Chittoor division and the breakup of existing FPS dealers. Unless these details are furnished it is not possible to appreciate the contention raised in the Writ Petition. The Writ Petition is misconceived, and the same is accordingly dismissed. There shall be no order as to costs. _______________ (V.V.S.RAO, J) 09.03.2010 vs
