THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO WRIT PETITION No.18209 of 2009 23.03.2010 Between: P.Ravi Kumar ….Petitioner AND The District Collector, Kurnool District At Kurnool and others. …Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO WRIT PETITION No.18209 OF 2009 ORDER: The petitioner is a dealer of Fair Price Shop (FPS) in Srisailam. He was appointed by proceedings dated 19.08.2006. When third respondent issued notification dated 13.08.2009 inviting applications from eligible candidates for appointment of a dealer, he filed instant writ petition. Learned Assistant Government Pleader for Civil Supplies after getting instructions submits that the petitioner was appointed as temporary dealer and therefore, he has no right to seek appointment as regular dealer. In view of this, the contention that under the dealership agreement, the petitioner’s dealership has become permanent cannot be accepted. When the petitioner was appointed as temporary dealer, until further orders, he cannot seek a Mandamus directing the competent authority, namely, third respondent not to proceed with the regular appointment of dealer which is a mandate of clause 5(1) of Andhra Pradesh State Public Distribution System (Control) Order, 2008. The writ petition is misconceived and is accordingly dismissed. No costs. _______________ (V.V.S.RAO, J) 23.03.2010 Pln
