The HC reasoned that issuance of a general mandamus cancelling fair price shop licences without immediate settlement of replacement shops deprived Antyodaya and Annapurna beneficiaries of entitlements and was contrary to public interest; consequently such blanket mandamus directions must not be issued and any government orders in compliance shall be withdrawn, with directions to immediately settle fresh fair price shops for continued distribution.
