HON’BLE MR.JUSTICE R.SUBHASH REDDY Writ Petition No.25827 of 2008 Date: November 8, 2011 Between: V.Raji Reddy, S/o.Sanjeeva Reddy … Petitioner And The Revenue Divisional Officer, Peddapalli, Karimnagar District and another … Respondents Order: This writ petition is filed seeking mandamus declaring the action of the respondents in not allotting kerosene stock to retail kerosene shop No.4534 of Godavarikhani, Ramagundam Mandal, Karimnagar District as illegal and arbitrary. Petitioner is a dealer with regard to the fair price shop No.4524 of Godavarikhani proper, Ramagundam Mandal and holds a valid licence issued under the provisions of Andhra Pradesh Scheduled Commodities (Regulation of Distribution by Card System) Order, 1973, which is being renewed from time to time. One Mr.V.Rajamouli was the dealer with regard to shop No.4534 and on certain allegations, his dealership was cancelled. In view of the said cancellation, the 2nd respondent-Tahsildar passed order dated 20.08.2000 giving additional charge of shop No.4534 to the petitioner, who is the permanent dealer of shop No.4524. It is the grievance of the petitioner that though, as an ad hoc arrangement, additional charge is given to him with regard to shop No.4534 and the same is in existence, without any valid reason, supply of kerosene has been stopped to the said shop. While admitting the writ petition, by order dated 26.11.2008 in WPMP No.33780 of 2008, directions were issued to the respondents to allot kerosene stock to shop No.4534 for which the petitioner holds additional charge, if the said charge is still in force. Though the writ petition is of the year 2008, no counter-affidavit is filed. However, it is submitted by the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Civil Supplies appearing on behalf of the respondents that in view of the interim orders of this court, kerosene stock is being supplied to shop No.4534 for which the petitioner is holding additional charge. When, as an ad hoc arrangement, additional charge is given to the petitioner with regard to shop No.4534, supply of kerosene stock to the said shop cannot be stopped so long as he is holding such charge. In that view of the matter, I dispose of the writ petition directing the respondents to continue supply of kerosene stock to shop No.4534 of Godavarikhani proper, Ramagundam Mandal, Karimnagar District so long as the additional charge given to the petitioner with regard to the said shop is subsisting. No costs. _____________________ (R.SUBHASH REDDY, J) November 8, 2011 MRR
