S.Pushpavathi ..... PETITIONER AND The Revenue Divisional Officer, Mahabubnagar District and another .....RESPONDENTS The Court made the following : HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE G.ROHINI WRIT PETITION No.13810 OF 2010 O R D E R : The petitioner is the authorized dealer of the fair price shop of Konda Rao Pally-II, Kodair Mandal, Mahabubnagar District. This writ petition is filed seeking a declaration that the order passed by the 1st respondent dated 27.04.2010 cancelling the authorization with immediate effect and directing the 2nd respondent to make alternative arrangements for distribution of the essential commodities, is arbitrary and illegal. It is primarily contended by the petitioner that as the impugned order of cancellation was not preceded by any notice and no enquiry was conducted as contemplated under Andhra Pradesh State Public Distribution System (Control) Order, 2008, the impugned order is arbitrary and illegal apart from being in violation of the principles of natural justice. The learned Government Pleader for Civil Supplies appearing for the respondents did not dispute the plea that no notice was issued to the petitioner before passing the impugned order. In the circumstances, the impugned order cannot be sustained and the same is accordingly set aside. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is allowed, leaving it open to the respondents to take appropriate action following due process of law. No costs. ​ _____________ Date: 25.06.2010 G.
