THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE NOUSHAD ALI WRIT PETITION No. 23450 of 2006. ORDER: The grievance of the petitioner in this writ petition is very limited. A public notification was issued in newspapers calling for applications for appointment of fair price shop dealers for 17 shops at various places in Narsapur Revenue Division, West Godavari District. Shop No.60 of Palakol town is also one of such shops reserved for SC (woman). The petitioner states that she is qualified for being appointed as a dealer and in response to the said notification, she filed an application and interviews were also conducted on 16.10.2006. The grievance of the petitioner is that the 4th respondent, the Revenue Divisional Officer, Narsapur announced results of 16 shops but in so far as shop No.60, the result has not been announced. Contending that there is no valid reason to withhold the result, the petitioner has filed the present writ petition to declare the action of the 4th respondent in not announcing the result as illegal. It is needless to say that once the applications are called for and interviews conducted, it is incumbent on the authorities to announce results and inform the same to the parties concerned so as to enable them to work out their remedies available under law if the result goes against them. Since considerable time has elapsed ever since 16.10.2006 when the interviews were conducted, there is absolutely no justification in not announcing the result of Shop No.60. In the circumstances, the 4th respondent is directed to announce the result relating to the appointment of a dealer in respect of Shop No.60 of Palakol Town, West Godavari District as early as possible preferably within a period of two weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order, if the result has already not been announced. The writ petition is accordingly allowed. There shall be no order as to costs. ________________________ NOUSHAD ALI, J 14.12.2010. KRB.
