THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE N.V. RAMANA WRIT PETITION No.12283 of 2010 ORDER: This writ petition is filed by the petitioner seeking writ of mandamus declaring the action of the first respondent-Revenue Divisional Officer, Nagarkurnul in issuing the proceedings dated 30.04.2010 cancelling his Fair Price Shop dealership. According to the petitioner, he was selected as dealer in respect of Fair Price Shop at Nagulapally Tanda, Kodair Mandal, Mahabubnagar District on 09.07.1999 and he was permitted to lift the stocks with effect from 10.01.2000. Since then he is running the said fair price shop without any complaints or adverse remarks either from the public or from the respondents. While that being so, in view of the decision taken by the Government to pick out the bogus cards, there is lot of disturbance and inconvenience while distributing the commodities to the card holders and that the respondents are supplying less stock than the eligible stock. It is stated that the first respondent has issued the impugned proceedings cancelling his dealership on the ground that some of the cardholders have complained that they are not receiving the commodities properly and that the second respondent-Tahsildar, Devarapalli has recommended to cancel the authorization in respect of Fair Price Shop at Nagulapally Tanda. His grievance is that the impugned proceedings have been issued without giving any notice to him. A perusal of the impugned proceedings would show that the Fair Price Shop Dealership of the petitioner was cancelled, without giving any notice to the petitioner. The learned Government Pleader for Civil Supplies also fairly conceded that no notice was issued to the petitioner before cancelling his dealership. In the circumstances, the impugned proceedings are set aside and the writ petition is allowed, grating liberty to the respondents to take necessary action against the petitioner, after following due process of law. There shall be no order as to costs. N.V. RAMANA, J Date: 02.06.2010 va
