HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE A. RAJASHEKER REDDY Writ Petition No.28538 of 2014 Date: 25-09-2014 Between:
Chilaka Daniel, .. Petitioner AND The Government of Andhra Pradesh, represented by its Principal Secretary, Civil Supplies Department, Hyderabad and 2 others .. Respondents HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE A. RAJASHEKER REDDY Writ Petition No.28538 of 2014 ORDER:
This writ petition is filed for a mandamus declaring the action of the respondents in not permitting the petitioner to distribute essential commodities to the cardholders by delivering the same to the petitioner’s shop No.34 and 11 of Kothapalli village, Atchampet Mandal, Guntur District as illegal and arbitrary.
The case of the petitioner is that he was appointed as fair price shop No.34, Kothapalli village, Atchampet Mandal, Guntur District in the year 2007 and has been distributing essential commodities to the cardholders without any complaint and his authorisation is being renewed from time to time valid up to 31-03- 2015. It is stated that though the authorisation of the petitioner is valid and subsisting, the respondents refused to supply the stocks to the petitioner. Aggrieved by the same, the present writ petition is filed.
Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Civil Supplies.
Since it is stated that the authorisation of the petitioner is valid and subsisting, the respondents 2 and 3 are directed to supply stocks to the petitioner’s fair price shop as long as his authorisation is valid and subsisting. However, this order will not preclude the competent authority-the 2nd respondent from taking appropriate action in case the petitioner has committed violation of Control Order, 2008.
With the above direction, the writ petition is disposed. No costs. As a sequel thereto, miscellaneous petitions, if any, pending shall stand closed.
