THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY Writ Petition No.39392 of 2014 Between:
Dated 29th December, 2014 Sri Simma Bhaskar Rao And …Petitioner The State of A.P., rep.by its Secretary, Food, Civil Supplies & Consumer Affairs Department, Secretariat Buildings, Hyderabad and others …Respondents Counsel for the petitioner: Sri V.Sudhakar Reddy Counsel for the respondents: AGP for Civil Supplies (AP) The Court made the following:
ORDER:
This writ petition is filed with the grievance that following inspection and seizure of the essential commodities from the petitioner’s fair price shop of Deergasi-I Depot, Deergasi Village, Polaki Mandal, Srikakulam District, respondent Nos.2 and 3 have not been releasing the stocks for distribution.
Though the case was adjourned to enable the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Civil Supplies (AP) to obtain instructions, no instructions have been reported.
From the averments contained in the affidavit filed in support of the writ petition, it appears that no order suspending the petitioner’s authorisation has been passed following seizure of the essential commodities from his shop. So long as the petitioner’s authorisation remains in force, the respondents are bound to allot essential commodities to the petitioner.
In this view of the matter, respondent No.3 is directed to issue stock allotment order to the petitioner and after receipt of demand draft from the petitioner, he shall allot essential commodities for distribution.
Subject to the above direction, the writ petition is allowed.
As a sequel to disposal of the writ petition, W.P.M.P.No.49415 of 2014 shall stand disposed of as infructuous.
C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J 29th December, 2014
