Earlier the petitioner was conducting the particular ARD as authorised representative of the dealer, who was none other than her husband. Later on, allegedly on the advice of the 1st respondent, the petitioner and her husband submitted Ext.P2 application for surrender of the ARD and to appoint the petitioner as the dealer in the petitioner's husband's place. However, by order dated 8.5.2008 the 2nd respondent accepted the surrender, but rejected the other prayer. Subsequently a notification was issued inviting applications for appointment of a fresh dealer. Against the action of the 2nd respondent, the petitioner has filed Ext.P5 revision petition before the Commissioner of Civil Supplies, in which a prayer for stay was also incorporated. The petitioner seeks disposal of Ext.P5 revision petition expeditiously and to stay further proceedings for selection of a new dealer. w.p.c.24935/08 2 2.
