Gowri … Petitioner and The Joint Collector, Chittoor District, Chittoor and others. … Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE NOUSHAD ALI WRIT PETITION No.24110 of 2011 ORDER : Heard Sri T. Balaji, learned counsel appearing for the petitioner, as well as the learned Government Pleader for Civil Supplies appearing for the respondents, and with their consent the writ petition is being disposed of at the admission stage. 2. This writ petition has been filed to declare the action of the respondents in not supplying the essential commodities to the Fair Price Shop of the petitioner while her authorization is in subsistence, as arbitrary and illegal. 3. The petitioner is a Fair Price Shop dealer in respect of Shop No.14, Kothapalle Village, S.R. Puram Mandal, Chittoor District, vide authorisation bearing No.2/S.R.Puram/2006, dated 13.8.2010. The said authorisation is valid upto 31.3.2012. The grievance of the petitioner is that the 3rd respondent is not releasing the essential commodities to her shop allegedly on the ground that an enquiry is pending against her. It is stated that so far the petitioner has not received any notice nor any proceedings were initiated against her. Therefore, it is contended that the respondents are not justified in not supplying the essential commodities to the petitioner’s shop and preventing her from running the shop so long as her authorisation is in subsistence. Therefore, the petitioner filed the present writ petition for the aforesaid relief. 4. There does not appear to be any dispute that the authorization of the petitioner to run the Fair Price Shop is valid upto 31.3.2012 and the same has not been interdicted either by suspension or cancellation. Therefore, there is no justification on the part of the respondents to withhold the essential commodities to the petitioner’s shop so long as her authorization is in subsistence. 5. In the circumstances, the writ petition is disposed of directing the 3rd respondent to release the essential commodities to the shop of the petitioner as per her entitlement so long as her authorization is not suspended or cancelled and the same remains in force. No order as to costs. ________________________ JUSTICE NOUSHAD ALI 30.08.2011. NOTE:- Issue C.C. in two days.
