IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD (Special Original Jurisdiction) PRESENT: THE HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY THURSDAY, THE THIRTEENTH DAY OF MARCH, TWO THOUSAND EIGHT ONLY WRIT PETITION No.3312 of 2008 Between: Cheeda Srinivasa Rao. … Petitioner AND The District Collector, Prakasam at Ongole and four others. … Respondents Counsel for the petitioners: Sri P.Lakshma Reddy. Counsel for the respondents: Asst. Govt. Pleader for Civil Supplies. This Court made the following: ORDER: This Writ Petition is filed for a Writ of Mandamus to set aside proceedings dated 11-2-2008 passed by respondent No.1, whereby he stayed the appointment of the petitioner as a fair price shop dealer. In the view I am taking, there is no need to go in detail into the facts of the case. Suffice it to mention that against the order passed by respondent No.2, who confirmed the order of respondent No.3 appointing the petitioner as a fair price shop dealer, respondent No.5 filed a revision petition before respondent No.1. Pending the said revision, respondent No.1 stayed the operation of order dated 28-1-2008 passed by respondent No.2. Questioning this order, the present Writ Petition is filed. This Court on 20-2-2008 granted interim suspension of the order dated 11-2-2008 passed by respondent No.1. Heard Sri P.Lakshmana Reddy, learned counsel for the petitioner, the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Civil Supplies for respondents 1 to 4, and Sri I.Gopal Reddy, learned counsel for respondent No.5. Since the main Revision Petition is pending before respondent No.1, I am not inclined to go into the merits of the case. Therefore, I feel it appropriate to dispose of the Writ Petition with a direction to respondent No.1 to dispose of the Revision Petition filed by respondent No.5 within a period of six weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order, after giving notice and opportunity of hearing to the petitioner and respondent No.5. Till the disposal of the revision petition, status quo obtaining as on today shall be maintained in respect of running of the fair price shop in question. ----------------------------------- --- C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY,J Dt.13-3-2008 MNR
