THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE NOUSHAD ALI WP NO.26650 OF 2010 ORDER: This writ petition has been filed questioning the orders dated 24.09.2010 in proceedings No.C/3648/2006 passed by the Revenue Divisional Officer-2nd respondent herein, whereby the authorization to run the fair price shop granted in faovur of the petitioner, is cancelled. In pursuance of a notification for appointment of a dealer to run a fair price shop at Doolapally Village, Quthbullapur Mandal, the petitioner and the 4th respondent herein submitted applications. After following the process of selection, the petitioner was found to be qualified and accordingly, by order dated 19.8.2009 she was appointed as the dealer. It appears that the 4th respondent, who was unsuccessful, filed an Appeal Case No.A7/865/2009 before the Joint Collector-II, Ranga Reddy District. The said appellate authority remanded the matter to the 2nd respondent herein with a direction to re-examine the matter from the point of economic conditions of the individuals, source of livelihood, and pass appropriate orders after verification at the field level. Learned counsel for the petitioner contends that he had no notice of the appeal. Be that as it may. In pursuance of the said order, the 2nd respondent herein appears to have called for a report from the Deputy Collector and Tahsildar, Quthbullapur Mandal on the socio economic details of the petitioner and 4th respondent. On the report submitted by the Deputy Collector and Tahsildar, Quthbullapur Mandal, the 2nd respondent passed the impugned order. The matter has come up for admission. The 4th respondent had filed a caveat and represented by the learned counsel Sri B.Sudhakar Reddy, on the consent of both the counsel and the learned Government Pleader, the matter is being disposed of at the stage of admission itself. Learned counsel for the petitioner would contend that the impugned order was passed without notice to the petitioner. He would dispute the correctness of the report said to have been submitted by the Deputy Collector and Tahsildar, Quthbullapur Mandal on the socio economic position of the petitioner vis-à-vis the 4th respondent. He would also contend that the report submitted by the said Officer does not reflect the true facts, and had a notice been given, the petitioner would have convinced the 2nd respondent about her eligibility. On the other hand, learned counsel for the 4th respondent would contend that the Deputy Collector and Tahsildar, Quthbullapur Mandal gathered the facts and submitted a detailed report and the same cannot be found fault with. He would further contend that the impugned order was rightly passed. Learned counsel for the 4th respondent would, however fairly admit that the impugned order was without notice either to the petitioner or to the 4th respondent herein. Whether the petitioner is more qualified than the 4th respondent, whether the report submitted by the Deputy Collector and Tahsildar, Quthbullapur Mandal, is genuine, are the questions to be decided by the concerned authority. Admittedly, the order was passed without notice to the petitioner and the 4th respondent as well. Since the order has resulted in cancellation of the appointment of the petitioner made earlier, on an altogether new ground as to the socio economic conditions of the applicants, I am of the view that the 2nd respondent ought to have given notice to both the parties and pass orders. In this view of the matter, the impugned order dated 24.9.2010 in proceedings No. C/3648/2006 passed by the 2nd respondent is set aside and the matter is remanded to 2nd respondent for de novo disposal. The 2nd respondent is directed to consider the case of the petitioner and 4th respondent as well, after putting them on due notice. The said exercise shall be completed as early as possible, preferably, within a period of six weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. The writ petition is allowed as above. There shall be no order as to costs. ________________________ JUSTICE NOUSHAD ALI rkk Dated: 29-10-2010 Note: Issue CC by three days.
