Respondents THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA WRIT PETITION No.23032 of 2009 ORDER: This writ petition is filed by the petitioner seeking a Writ of Mandamus to declare the action of the respondents in not considering the representation of the petitioner dated 26.07.2009 for allotment of a fair price shop to Ward No.35, A.M. Puttur/Isukadibba,Srikalahasti, Chittoor District, as illegal and arbitrary. 2. The case of the petitioner, in brief, is that she is the leader of a DWACRA group of Isukadibba/A.M.Puttur, Srikalahasti Mandal, Chittoor District and there are nearly 1500 people in the village. As the existing fair price shops are at a distant place, the residents of Isukadibba/A.M.Puttur are facing difficulties in fetching the essential commodities. Hence, she and 11 other DWACRA groups in the locality have submitted a representation to the Tahsildar, Srikalahasti Mandal - 3rd respondent seeking allotment of a fair price shop to the said village, with copies to other respondents. As the respondents have not taken any action, again she submitted a representatioin to the respondents on 26.07.2009. But however, no action has yet been taken by the respondents. The same is questioned in this writ petition. 3. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Civil Supplies. 4. As the representation of the petitioner 26.07.2009 is very much pending with the respondents, this Court, without going into the contentions put forth by the learned counsel for the petitioner, is of the view that this writ petition can be disposed of with a direction to the respondents to consider the representation of the petitioner and pass necessary orders thereon, at the earliest. 5. Accordingly, this writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the respondents to consider the representation of the petitioner dated 26.07.2009 and pass appropriate orders thereon, within a period of two (2) months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.
