IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD (Special Original Jurisdiction) WEDNESDAY, THE THIRTIETH OF APRIL TWO THOUSAND AND EIGHT PRESENT THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION NO : 9801 of 2008 Between: P.A. Damodaram S/o P. Appa Swamy Chetty Company, 8-685/1, Gandhi Road Extension Thotapalyam, Chittoor District. ..... PETITIONER AND 1 The Joint Collector, Chittoor. 2 The Tahsildar, Gudipala Mandal, Chittoor District. .....RESPONDENTS Counsel for the Petitioner: MR.NOUSHAD ALI Counsel for the Respondents: GP FOR CIVIL SUPPLIES The Court made the following : Order: This Writ Petition is filed for writ of Mandamus to set aside order dated 24-04-2008, passed by respondent No.1, as illegal and arbitrary. By the impugned order, the petitioner’s wholesale Kerosene dealership license has been suspended by respondent No.1 pending enquiry. Since the petitioner has an effective remedy of filing appeal under Clause 31 of the Andhra Pradesh Petroleum Products (Licensing and Regulation of Supplies) Order, 1980, before the Commissioner of Civil Supplies, I am not inclined to entertain this Writ Petition and dispose of the same on merits. The Writ Petition is, therefore, dismissed with liberty to the petitioner to file appeal against the order impugned in this Writ Petition. On the petitioner filing such an appeal, the Commissioner of Civil Supplies shall entertain the same and dispose of on merits without raising any objection regarding its maintainability. As a sequel to dismissal of the Writ Petition, WPMP.No.12906 of 2008 filed by the petitioner for interim relief is disposed of as infructuous. ____________________ (C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J) 30-04-2008 Note: Furnish CC in two days.
