HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE R. SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No.21765 of 2010 Date : 31.08.2010 Between : K. Ravi Prasad. …..Petitioner And The Revenue Divisional Officer, Anantapur & another. …..Respondents HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE R. SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No.21765 of 2010 ORDER : In this writ petition, the petitioner, who is a fair price shop dealer, questions the action of respondents in conducting interviews for appointment of fair price shop dealer for shop No.2 of Vidapanakal village and Mandal of Anantapur District. The petitioner was earlier, dealer for shop No.2 of Vidapanakal village, appointed under the provisions of the A.P. Public Distribution System (Control) Order, 2008. On certain allegations, disciplinary action was initiated against the petitioner and his authorization was suspended, and a show cause notice, dated 17.04.2010, was issued, calling for the explanation of petitioner as to why his authorization should not be cancelled. In this writ petition, it is the grievance of the petitioner that though he has filed his explanation to the show cause notice, dated 17.04.2010, no final orders are passed, and even before passing of such final orders, respondents are taking steps to fill up the vacancy in the place of the petitioner. When the matter is taken up, the learned Government Pleader appearing for respondents, has produced a copy of the final order, dated 9th August 2010, passed by the Revenue Divisional Officer, Anantapur, in Proceedings Dis.No.D1-CS/1071/2010, by which, the authorization of petitioner is cancelled. In view of passing of final order, I do not find any illegality in taking steps for appointment of another dealer in the place of the petitioner. If the petitioner is aggrieved by the order of cancellation, dated 09.08.2010, it is open for him to question the same by availing the remedies available under law, but he cannot seek for directions as prayed for in this writ petition. For the aforesaid reasons, the writ petition is dismissed, giving liberty to the petitioner to question the validity of the order, dated 9th August 2010. No order as to costs. ______________________ R. SUBHASH REDDY, J 31st August 2010 ajr
