RAMULU W.P.No.10455 of 2004 ORAL ORDER: Heard both sides and perused the material made available on record. Bifurcation of a fair price shop and allotment of cards of one shop to another is done for administrative convenience taking the interest of the cardholders into consideration. The present Writ Petition is filed with an apprehension that the respondents are making attempts to bifurcate the cards from the existing fair price shop at Sarvepalli Bit-II village, Venkatachalasatram Mandal, Nellore district to the newly established fair price shop at Josephpet, which is at a distance of more than 1½ kilometers. I am of the opinion that the petitioners have no right whatsoever to question the bifurcation of a particular shop and allotment of cards etc. Therefore, the Writ Petition is devoid of merits and is liable to be dismissed. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is dismissed. However, the petitioners are at liberty to make a representation before the appropriate authority ventilating their grievance, within a period of two weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. On such representation being filed, the District Collector/appropriate authority shall entertain and dispose of the same, within a period of four weeks thereafter. No order as to costs. 13-9-2006 prk
