Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V. RAMULU W.P.No.19512 of 1998 ORAL ORDER: This writ petition is filed challenging the Proceedings dated 3-7-1998 of the 1st respondent-Revenue Divisional Officer cancelling the temporary appointment of the petitioner as fair price shop dealer of Shop No.38, K.A.Mallavaram village, Kotananduru Mandal of East Godavari District. The writ petition has been filed in the year 1998 and an interim order was passed by this Court on 14-7-1998 suspending the impugned Order, by virtue of which, the petitioner has been continuing as a fair price shop dealer till date. Admittedly, the petitioner was appointed on temporary basis. She cannot challenge the impugned Proceedings as a matter of course. The authorities are at liberty to appoint fair price shop dealers on permanent basis. However, since the impugned Order was passed in the year 1998 and as interim suspension of the impugned Order has been granted by this Court on 14-7-1998 and the same is being continued, respondents 1 and 2 are directed to issue fresh notification calling applications for grant of authorization to the said fair price shop and pass appropriate orders as per law. The petitioner may also apply for the same, if she is otherwise eligible. However, the petitioner shall be continued as a fair price shop dealer of Shop No.38 of K.A.Mallavaram village, Kotananduru Mandal of East Godavari District till permanent appointment is made against the said shop. With the above direction, the writ petition is disposed of. No order as to costs. 05-6-2006 prk
