HON'BLE MR JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.25807 of 2010 Between: G.Manju Bhargavi … Petitioner And The Government of A.P. rep. By the Ditrict Collector (Civil Supplies), Chittoor, Chittoor District & others. … Respondents Counsel for the Petitioner : Sri S.V.Muni Reddy Counsel for respondent Nos. 1 to 3: AGP for Civil Supplies HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.25807 of 2010 ORDER: This Writ Petition is filed for a Mandamus to set aside the notification dated 29.09.2010 of respondent No.2, whereby he has invited applications for appointment of fair price shop dealer in respect of Mogili Venkatagiri Village, Bangarupalem Mandal, Chittoor District. The petitioner claims to be the first leader of the Dwacra Group of Mogili Venkatagiri Village. When the vacancy of the fair price shop in the said Village has arisen in the year 2002, in her capacity as the leader of the said Dwacra Group, she was appointed as the fair price shop dealer on temporary basis. On a previous occasion, when the shop was notified for appointment of fair price shop dealer on permanent basis, the petitioner filed W.P.No.26822 of 2009 but was unsuccessful in convincing this Court to set aside the notification and the said Writ Petition was dismissed by order dated 09.03.2010. By the impugned notification, applications are invited for fresh appointment by respondent No.2 to fill up the vacancy on permanent basis. This notification is questioned in the present Writ Petition mainly on the ground that earlier while the fair price shop was allotted to BC-B Category, in the present notification, the same was notified for OC Category. An additional plea raised by the petitioner is that representing the leader of the Dwacra Group, she is entitled for preferential treatment. At the hearing Sri S.V.Muni Reddy, learned Counsel for the petitioner, reiterated the above pleas. After hearing the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Civil Supplies and perusing the record, I am of the view that the petitioner failed to make out any case for this Court’s interference with the impugned notification. G.O.Ms.No.52 dated 18.12.2008, provides for communal reservations in the matter of appointment of fair price shop dealers. Though it is vaguely pleaded that G.O.Ms.No.52 dated 18.12.2008 is violated, it is not specifically pointed out as to which of the guidelines of the said G.O. is violated. As regards the contention of the learned Counsel for the petitioner that the members of the Dwacra Group are entitled to preference, as there is no dispute in this regard, the petitioner is entitled to make her application and, in such an event, respondent No.2 shall consider the applications of all the candidates, including the petitioner, strictly in accordance with the rules and the guidelines in force governing the selection and appointment of the fair price shop dealer. Subject to the above observations, the Writ Petition is dismissed. As a sequel to dismissal of the main petition, WPMP.No.32929 of 2010 filed by the petitioner for interim relief is disposed of as infructuous. C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY,J Date:20.10.2010 usd
