NAFR HIGH COURT OF CHHATTISGARH AT BILASPUR WRIT PETITION (C) NO. 4653 OF 2019 Maa Sheetla Jyoti Mahila Sewa Sahayata Samuh, Devkar, through its President Smt. Sumitra Sahu, W/o Shri Rajendra Sahu, aged about 39 years, R/o Village Devkar, Ward No.11, Police Station Saja, District Bemetara (CG) ... Petitioner versus 1.

State of Chhattisgarh, through the Secretary, Women and Child Development Department, Mahanadi Bhawan, Mantralaya, New Raipur (CG) 2.

The Collector, District Bemetara (CG) 3.

The District Programme Officer, Women and Child Development Department, District Bemetara (CG) ... Respondent For Petitioner :

Mr. Sanjeev Kumar Sahu, Advocate.

For Respondent :

Ms. Sunita Jain, Govt. Advocate.

Hon'ble Shri Justice P. Sam Koshy Order on Board 19/12/2019 1.

Challenge in the present writ petition is to the order dated 3.12.2019 (Annexure P-1) terminating the agreement with the Petitioner for supply of ready to eat food.

2.

The plain perusal of the impugned order would show that the order has already come into force for more than two weeks now. The order reflects that the authorities themselves have indicated the Petitioner that in case the Petitioner is aggrieved they should prefer a first appeal before the concerned District Collector. 3.

Given the fact that there is a remedy available to the Petitioner which they have not availed promptly, it would not be proper for this Court at this juncture to entertain the present writ petition.

4.

Accordingly, reserving the right of the Petitioner to approach the concerned District Collector within a period of seven days from today, the Collector is directed to consider and decide the appeal at the earliest, preferably within a period of thirty days from the date of receipt of the appeal of the Petitioner. The Petitioner would also be at liberty to move an application for grant of interim relief before the Collector.

5.

The writ petition accordingly stands disposed with the aforesaid direction. Sd/- (P. Sam Koshy) /sharad/ JUDGE
