HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R. SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No.10901 of 2008 Date: 25.10.2010 Between : G.Ramachandrappa. …….Petitioner And The Joint Collector, Anantapur District & others. ….Respondents HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R. SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No.10901 of 2008 ORDER : The petitioner is a fair price shop dealer at Peddamogalayapalli village of Chennekothapalli Mandal in Anantapur District. On the ground that he is not residing in the said village, but is residing in Dharmavaram with family, the primary authority i.e. the Revenue Divisional Officer, Dharmavaram passed an order, dated 22.04.2008 in Rc.No.2403/2007/F, cancelling the authorization granted to him. Against the said order, the petitioner preferred an appeal before the Joint Collector, who is the notified appellate authority as per the A.P.Public Distribution System (Control) Order, 2001. During the pendency of appeal, he sought for interim orders and when his application for interim relief is not considered, he approached this Court by filing this writ petition. At the time of admission, this Court, by an order, dated 21.05.2008, directed the respondents to continue the petitioner as fair price shop dealer until further orders. When the matter is taken up today, it is represented by the learned counsel for petitioner as well as the learned Government Pleader appearing for respondents that the appeal preferred by the petitioner is pending consideration. Although it is the case of the petitioner that the order of cancellation is passed without notice, and in contravention of the Control Order, in view of pendency of appeal before the appellate authority, it is not desirable for this Court to record any finding on such cancellation, but, taking into account the pendency of appeal before the appellate authority and also the interim orders granted by this Court as early as on 21.05.2008, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition, with a direction to the 1st respondent-appellate authority to dispose of the appeal preferred by the petitioner against the order, dated 22.04.2008, passed by the Revenue Divisional Officer, Dharmavaram, in Rc.No.2403/2007/F, and pass appropriate final orders within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. There shall be a further direction that the interim order of this Court, dated 21.05.2008, passed in W.P.M.P.No.14204 of 2008 shall continue to operate till appropriate final orders are passed by the appellate authority. Subject to the above directions, the writ petition is disposed of. No order as to costs. ______________________ R. SUBHASH REDDY, J 25th October 2010 ajr
