IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD (Special Original Jurisdiction) PRESENT: THE HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY FRIDAY, THE FIFTH DAY OF JUNE, TWO THOUSAND NINE ONLY WRIT PETITION No.10995 of 2009 Between: Smt.Kota Sumitra. … Petitioner And The Revenue Divisional Officer, Vikarabad Division at Vikarabad, Ranga Reddy District and another. … Respondents Counsel for the petitioner: Sri B.Lingaiah Yadav. Counsel for the respondents: AGP for Civil Supplies. This Court made the following: ORDER:- The petitioner is a fair price shop dealer of Mailaram village, Dharur Mandal, Ranga Reddy District. The Mandal Revenue Inspector made inspection of the petitioner’s shop on 29-5-2009 and prepared a Panchanama, wherein it was opined that the petitioner is not supplying the commodities to the card holders of the village properly. As the supply of commodities was stopped for the month of June, 2009, the petitioner filed the present Writ Petition. In the affidavit, the petitioner averred that no order has been communicated to her either suspending or varying her authorization. She, therefore, questioned the action of the respondents in stopping the supply of commodities to her shop for distribution. The learned Assistant Government Pleader for Civil Supplies, on instructions, submitted that no order has been passed suspending the authorization of the petitioner, but respondent No.2 made incharge arrangement by entrusting distribution of commodities to another fair price shop dealer. In my considered view, so long as the petitioner’s authorization subsists, no incharge arrangement can be made bypassing the petitioner for distribution of commodities through the shop, in respect of which the petitioner holds authorization. Therefore, the respondents are directed to continue supply of essential commodities to the petitioner in future so long as her authorization continues to be in force. The Writ Petition is accordingly allowed. --------------------------------- --- C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY,J Date:05-6-2009 MNR
