THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE NOUSHAD ALI W.P.No.19023 of 2008 Date : 11-11-2010 Between : Yekkanti Siva Rani .. Petitioner and The Revenue Divisional Officer, Narasaraopet, Guntur District and another .. Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE NOUSHAD ALI W.P.No.19023 of 2008 ORDER: This Writ Petition has been filed seeking to declare the inaction on the part of the respondents in allotting the essential commodities to the petitioner’s Fair Price Shop, as illegal. The petitioner is a Fair Price Shop Dealer in respect of a shop located at Ravulapuram Village, Bollapalli Mandal, Guntur District. The petitioner was on leave on medical grounds for a period of three months from February, 2008 to April, 2008. As such, the 2nd respondent herein viz., the Tahsildar, Bollapalli Mandal by orders in R.C.No.6 of 2008, dated 07-02-2008 made an ad hoc arrangement for distribution of the essential commodities by appointing an in-charge dealer for a period of three months. The three months period lapsed by April, 2008. Complaining that despite the ad hoc arrangement made by orders dated 07-02-2008 had lapsed and even though the petitioner sought to resume, the respondents did not release the quota to the petitioner, this writ petition has been filed. Indisputably, the authorization of the petitioner has neither been suspended nor cancelled and the same has been in force. Since the ad hoc arrangement was made only for a limited period from February, 2008 to April, 2008 and the said orders were not extended thereafter, the petitioner cannot be prevented to run the shop. In fact, this Court by orders in W.P.M.P.No.24795 of 2008, dated 15-09-2008 directed the respondents to supply the commodities to the petitioner’s shop and admittedly the petitioner has been distributing the commodities. Having regard to the said interim orders, no further orders are required in this Writ Petition. The Writ Petition is accordingly disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs. ________________ NOUSHAD ALI, J. 11th November, 2010. skmr
