IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD THURSDAY, THE TWENTY THIRD DAY OF SEPTEMBER TWO THOUSAND AND TEN PRESENT THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE NOUSHAD ALI WRIT PETITION NO.13993 OF 2007 Kum D.Mamatha .... PETITIONER AND The Revenue Divisional Officer and another …RESPONDENTS THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE NOUSHAD ALI WRIT PETITION NO.13993 OF 2007 ORDER: The petitioner is an authorized Fair Price Shop dealer in respect of shop No.4554, NTPC, Ramagundam, Karimnagar District. He seeks to declare the action of respondent No.2-Tahsildar, Ramagundam, Karimnagar District, in not issuing the release orders for lifting the Essential Commodities as per the allotment made by the Civil Supplies Department as arbitrary and consequently direct respondent No.2 to issue release orders to the entire extent of allotment made to the said shop. 2. The limited grievance espoused in this writ petition is that though the Andhra Pradesh State Civil Supplies Corporation, allotted 185.64 quintals of PDS rice for the month of June, 2007, respondent No.2 issued permission to lift 95 quintals of rice only. The petitioner therefore, urges that she was entitled for lifting the entire stock as allotted by the Civil Supplies Department and respondent No.2 ought not to have reduced the supply, instead he was bound to issue the release orders in respect of the entire stocks so allotted. 3. Since the grievance was limited insofar as the short supply of stock only for the month of June, 2007, due to efflux of time, the cause in this writ petition does not survive for adjudication. However, if for any reason, in future, respondent No.2 does not issue release orders to the entire extent as allotted, the petitioner is always at liberty to challenge the same in appropriate proceedings. 4. Subject to the above observations, the writ petition is disposed of as infructuous. There shall be no order as to costs. __________________ NOUSHAD ALI, J SEPTEMBER 23, 2010. YVL
