IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD (Special Original Jurisdiction) WEDNESDAY, THE SECOND DAY OF MAY, TWO THOUSAND EIGHT ONLY PRESENT: THE HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.7317 of 2008 Between: Nimmalla Ravi & others. … Petitioners AND State of A.P., rep., by its Secretary, Civil Supplies Dept., Secretariat, Hyderabad & others. … Respondents Counsel for the petitioners : Smt. D. Pramada Counsel for the respondents: AGP for Civil Supplies This Court made the following: THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.7317 of 2008 ORDER:- This writ petition is filed for a writ of Mandamus to declare the inaction of respondent No.4 in renewing the petitioners’ authorizations for the existing shops, as illegal and arbitrary. At the hearing, Smt. D. Pramada, learned counsel for the petitioners placed before me the copy of final order dated 05.03.2008 passed by this Court in WP.No.9189 of 2007, wherein this Court observed as under: “I find another anomaly in the procedure followed by the respondents. Assuming that the respondents are entitled to terminate the authorizations of the petitioners without notice, the respondents have not pleaded that any such termination was made by passing an order. Until the petitioners’ authorizations are terminated, no vacancies can be said to arise for issuing the impugned notification. Therefore, the impugned notification is quashed. Since the period of authorizations of the petitioners is expiring by 31.03.2008, respondents are free to take steps to fill up the vacancies either by considering the applications of the petitioners for renewal or by notifying the vacancies in accordance with the prescribed procedure.” Having perused the above-reproduced observation of this Court, I am of the view that no further orders are required in this writ petition. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of. As a sequel to disposal of the writ petition, WPMP.No.9617 of 2008 filed by the petitioners for interim relief is disposed of as infructuous. ____________________________ C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J Date: 02.05.2008 ES
