THE HON'BLE THE CHIEF JUSTICE SHRI NISAR AHMAD KAKRU and THE HON'BLE SHRI JUSTICE VILAS V. AFZULPURKAR Dated: 21-12-2010 WRIT PETITION No. 31829 OF 2010 Between: Dalith Bahujana Vyavasaya Karmika Sangham, rep., by its State Secretary, Sri I. Suryanarayana, S/o Tirapayya, aged about 45 years, resident of D.No.10-2-43, Pamuvari veedi, Ramaraopet, Kakinada, East Godavari District ... PETITIONER AND The Union of India, rep., by its Principal Secretary, Civil Supplies Department, New Delhi and 14 others …RESPONDENTS THE HON'BLE THE CHIEF JUSTICE SHRI NISAR AHMAD KAKRU and THE HON'BLE SHRI JUSTICE VILAS V. AFZULPURKAR WRIT PETITION No. 31829 OF 2010 ORDER: (per the Hon’ble the Chief Justice Shri Nisar Ahmad Kakru) Relying upon the Supreme Court’s directions in People’s Union for Civil Liberties vs. Union of India and others (Writ Petition (Civil) No. 196 of 2001, dated 27-04-2004), it is contended that the respondents have no power to cancel the cards issued under Annapurna Scheme. Perusal of the order of the Supreme Court mandates the State not to discontinue the scheme without prior approval of the Supreme Court which has absolutely no relevance to the case on hand because petitioner’s case is that cards are being cancelled without proper verification and not the scheme on which count there is no allegation in the writ petition. Order of the Supreme Court in no manner whatsoever restricts the State from cancelling bogus cards. It goes without saying that if right of any individual card holder is violated, he is within his rights to invoke appropriate remedy. Suffice it to say, this writ petition in the guise of public interest litigation does not call for any adjudication. Dismissed. VILAS V. AFZULPURKAR, J NISAR AHMAD KAKRU, CJ 21-12-2010 K. Shyleshi
