IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD (Special Original Jurisdiction) TUESDAY, THE THIRD DAY OF NOVEMBER TWO THOUSAND AND NINE PRESENT THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA WRIT PETITION NO : 20733 of 2009 Between: D. Gangayamma. .. PETITIONER AND The District Collector and others. .....RESPONDENTS ORDER: The petitioner is the fair price shop dealer of Shop No.7 situated at Kotanemalipuri village, Rajupalem Mandal, Guntur District. Apprehending that the said fair price shop is bifurcating into two shops, he made a representation, dated 22.09.2009, to the third respondent-Tahsildar, Rajupalem Mandal, Guntur District, requesting him not to bifurcate his shop, as it is not viable. However, no orders have been passed thereon. Hence, he approached this Court and filed this writ petition. As on the date, no order of bifurcating the shop of the petitioner has been passed. Since the representation of the petitioner, dated 22.09.2009, is pending before the third respondent, without going into the merits of the matter, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition with the following directions. The third respondend-Tahsildar, Rajupalem Mandal, Guntur District, is directed to consider the representation of the petitioner, dated 22.09.2009 and pass appropriate orders thereon. Till such time, no order of bifurcation shall be passed. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of. No costs. __________________________ GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA, J Date:03.11.2009 sj
