THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO WRIT PETITION Nos.5689, 5690 and 5691 of 2010 DATED:12.03.2010 Between: Kummari Nagaiah and others .. Petitioners And The Revenue Divisional Officer, Nandyal, Kurnool District and another .. Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO WRIT PETITION Nos.5689, 5690 and 5691 of 2010 COMMON ORDER: In these Writ Petitions, the notification bearing No.R.C.A.No.1436/2009, dated 22.02.2010, issued by the Revenue Divisional Officer, Nandyal, inviting applications from eligible persons for being appointed as authorized dealers for Fair Price Shops (FPSs) in different villages is challenged. There is no dispute that the petitioners herein were appointed as temporary FPS dealers for respective villages. The temporary dealership was also renewed. Therefore, they contend that till the expiry of the period of the validity, the first respondent has no authority to make regular appointment. The submission cannot be accepted. Writ Petition No.5481 of 2010 and batch challenging the similar notification issued by the second respondent, were already dismissed by this Court. The facts in these cases are also similar. However, till the Revenue Divisional Officer appoints regular dealers in respect of the villages, the petitioners may be continued, keeping in view the exigencies of the card holders. The Writ Petitions are accordingly disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs. ______________ (V.V.S. RAO, J) 12.03.2010 KH
