Gande Kiran Kumar, Adilabad District v. The Dist Collector (Cs), Adilabad And 2 Oth

HON'BLE THE ACTING CHIEF JUSTICE RAMESH RANGANATHAN WRIT PETITON No.2715 of 2012 ORDER:

The relief sought for, in this Writ Petition, is for a mandamus to declare the action of the respondents, in not supplying kerosene to the petitioner's fair price shops as per the provisions of the Andhra Pradesh Public Distribution System (Control) Order, 2008, even though his licence was in existence, as illegal, arbitrary and contrary to principles of natural justice.

An interim order was passed in WPMP No.3401 of 2012 on 03.02.2012 directing the respondents to consider the petitioner's application for sale of kerosene pending further orders. It is not known what transpired thereafter. The only order which could have been finally passed in the main Writ Petition is the direction which has already granted in the interlocutory application. Suffice it, therefore, to make the interim order granted earlier, as the final order in the Writ Petition.

The Writ Petition is disposed of accordingly. The miscellaneous petitions pending, if any, shall stand closed. No costs. _______________________________ RAMESH RANGANATHAN, ACJ Date: 02.05.2018 MRKR
