THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.RAMULU WRIT PETITION No.22917 of 2004 Dated: 03-08-2004 Between: N.Mangamma …Petitioner(s) a n d The District Collector (C.S.), Srikakulam District, Srikakulam and others …Respondent(s) THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.RAMULU WRIT PETITION No.22917 of 2004 ORDER: This writ petition is filed seeking a certiorari calling for the records relating to the impugned proceedings in D.Dis.No.688/2004 dated 08.10.2004 on the file of the first respondent confirming the orders of the second respondent in his proceedings D.Dis.No.162/2004 dated 09.03.2004 and the order of the third respondent in his proceedings Rc.No.265/2001.B dated 11.05.2002 and quash the same as arbitrary and illegal. It appears that the petitioner was a fair price shop dealer of M.Rajapuram village of Veeraghattam Mandal in Srikakulam District. While so, on 26.04.2002, a lorry in which the essential commodities were being transported was seized by the police along with 51.70 quintals of rice which were being diverted to black market. The said rice related to Food for Work Programme. After conducting a detailed investigation and after issuing a show cause notice, the Revenue Divisional Officer, Palakonda, who is the third respondent herein, passed orders dated 11.05.2002 cancelling the authorization of the petitioner for contravention of the A.P. State Public Distribution System (Control) Orders, 2001. Aggrieved by the same, the petitioner filed an appeal before the Joint Collector, Srikakulam District who is the second respondent herein. The Joint Collector, after an elaborate consideration, dismissed the appeal. Aggrieved by the same, the petitioner filed further revision before the District Collector who is the first respondent herein. The District Collector also after a detailed consideration of the matter dismissed the revision. Aggrieved by the same, the present writ petition is filed. No extraordinary grounds are made out to interfere with the order passed by the Revenue Divisional Officer as confirmed by the appellate authority the Joint Collector and the revisional authority the District Collector. The charges as such are very serious and that the seizure was effected by the Sub-Inspector of Police at Sri Kodandarama Rice Mill, Veeraghattam, where the petitioner took the lorry and the rice therein, diverting the rice meant for Food for Work Programme to black market. The writ petition is therefore devoid of merits and is liable to be dismissed. Accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed. No order as to costs. -------------- 03.08.2006 cvrk
