THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO WRIT PETITION No.13087 of 2010 Dated:11.06.2010 Between: G.Venkataramana. ...Petitioner And The Revenue Divisional Officer, Anantapur, Anantapur District, And others. ...Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO WRIT PETITION No.13087 of 2010 ORDER: The petitioner is a Fair Price Shop dealer at Nayanapalli Village. The second respondent purporting to exercise power under Clause 5(7) of the Andhra Pradesh State Public Distribution System (Control) Order, 2008 (Control Order, for brevity), issued the impugned order, dated 27.05.2010 suspending the authorization of the petitioner. Assailing the same the petitioner filed the instant writ petition. Counsel for the petitioner vehemently contends that the second respondent suspended the authorization on the complaint given by the Sarpanch of the Village, and therefore, the exercise of power is not in accordance with the relevant clause. It is also his submission that the second respondent abdicated his powers and was swayed by the baseless complaint given by the Sarpanch. This Court after giving due consideration and perusing the order of the Tahsildar challenged in the writ petition is not able to accept the contention. Insofar as the merit of the case is concerned, it is always open to the petitioner to approach the Revenue Divisional Officer and file an appeal. Without availing the effective alternative remedy under Clause 20(1) of the Control Order, the writ petition cannot be entertained. Petitioner is given liberty to file an appeal before the Revenue Divisional Officer within a period of ten days. As and when the same is filed, the Revenue Divisional Officer may consider and pass appropriate interim orders as well, and dispose of the main appeal within a period of six weeks thereafter. The Writ Petition is disposed of accordingly. ____________ (V.V.S.RAO, J) 11.06.2010 Note: Issue C.C in one week. B/o. vs
