Nainavaram Village, Vijayawada Rural Mandal, Krishna District, on compassionate grounds in terms of G.O.Ms.No.4, dated 28.02.2014. The averments made in the affidavit would disclose that the father of the petitioner was appointed as Fair Price Shop Dealer of P. Nainavaram Village, Vijayawada Rural Mandal, Krishna District and he died on 24.05.2010. Thereafter, no fair price shop dealer was appointed on permanent basis. While the things stood thus, the petitioner made an application to the respondents requesting to consider his case for appointment as Fair Price Shop Dealer for the aforesaid shop. Further the petitioner submits that para 6 of G.O.Ms.No.

4, Consumer Affairs, Food and Civil Supplies (CS.1) Department, dated 28.02.2014 stipulates certain conditions for appointment of legal heirs of deceased Fair Price Shop Dealers. Clause 6(i) & (iii) of the said G.O. entitled the petitioner to be appointed as Fair Price Shop Dealer as the petitioner's father died on 24.05.2010. Within the parameters prescribed in Clause 6. (i) & (iii) of the said GO, the relief sought for by the petitioner is, to consider and dispose of his application in terms of G.O.Ms.No. 4, dated 28.2.2014.

The learned Government Pleader appearing for the respondents does not have any objection for issuance of directions to the respondents to consider the application of the petitioner in terms of G.O.Ms.No.4, dated 28.2.2014. In the circumstances, the Writ Petition is disposed of directing the respondents-authorities to consider the application of the petitioner for appointment as Fair Price Shop Dealer to the aforesaid fair price shop in terms of G.O.Ms.No.4, dated 28.2.2014 and dispose of the same within a period of eight weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.
