IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD (Special Original Jurisdiction) MONDAY, THE TWENTY EIGHTH OF APRIL TWO THOUSAND AND EIGHT PRESENT THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION NO : 9410 of 2008 Between: K.Chittibabu s/o. Appa Rao R/o. Kotipalli Village, K.Gangavaram (M), East Godavari Distrcit. ..... PETITIONER AND 1 The Joint Collector, East Godavari Distrcit at Kakinada. 2 The Revenue Divisional Officer, Rajahmundry, East Godavari District. 3 The Tahsildar, K.Gangavaram Mandal, East Godavari District. ....RESPONDENTS Counsel for the Petitioner: MR.K.VENKATESH Counsel for the Respondents: GP FOR CIVIL SUPPLIES The Court made the following : Order: This Writ Petition is filed for a writ of Mandamus to declare order dated 03-04-2008 of respondent No.2, whereby the petitioner’s authorization in respect of fair price shop No.18 of Kotipalli Village, K.Gangavaram Mandal, East Godavari District, has been cancelled, as illegal. Heard Sri K.Venkatesh, learned Counsel for the petitioner, and perused the record. At the hearing, the learned Counsel for the petitioner fairly conceded that against the order passed by respondent No.2, which is impugned in this Writ Petition, the petitioner has an effective remedy of filing appeal before respondent No.1 under Clause 20(1) of the Andhra Pradesh State Public Distribution System Control Order, 2001. Since the petitioner has an effective alternative remedy to question the order impugned in this Writ Petition and he failed to show any extraordinary reason to entertain the Writ Petition filed bypassing such a remedy, I am not inclined to entertain the same. Hence, the Writ Petition is dismissed with liberty to the petitioner to avail the remedy of appeal before respondent No.1. As a sequel to dismissal of the Writ Petition, WPMP.No.12420 of 2008 filed by the petitioner for interim relief is disposed of as infructuous. ____________________ (C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J) 28-04-2008 LUR
