THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE ASHUTOSH MOHUNTA WRIT PETITION No.25439 of 2008 ORDER: The grievance of the petitioner is that his representation dated 10.11.2008 submitted to respondents 1 and 2 for appointment as fair price shop dealer has not been considered by them. He has also prayed that the re-appointment of the fourth respondent as fair price shop dealer of Jammidornala Village, Dornala Mandal, Prakasam District, be set aside. Learned Government Pleader for Civil Supplies appearing for respondents 1 to 3 submits that the representation of the petitioner, if not already been decided, shall be considered and decided by the competent authority, within a period of four weeks. He further submits that the petitioner ought to have challenged the re-appointment of the fourth respondent as fair price shop dealer by filing a revision petition before the District Collector, Ongole, and therefore, the writ petition is not maintainable. After perusing the contents of the writ petition and the submissions made by the learned Government Pleader for Civil Supplies, it is clear that the petitioner has not availed the remedy of filing an appeal before the District Collector, Ongole. Apart from the above, in case the representation of the petitioner dated 10.11.2008 has not been disposed of, the competent authority shall dispose of the same, within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of a certified copy of this order. The writ petition stands disposed of with the above directions. There shall be no order as to costs. ASHUTOSH MOHUNTA, J Date: 06.12.2010 va
