THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.25389 of 2010 Dated 07th October, 2010 Between: Smt. S. Sreelatha …Petitioner And The Government of Andhra Pradesh, represented by the Collector, Medak and others …Respondents Counsel for the petitioner: Mr. Eada Seshagiri Rao Counsel for respondents: Assistant Government Pleader for Civil Supplies The Court made the following: ORDER: This writ petition is filed for a Mandamus to set aside the proceedings dated 23.04.2010 of respondent No.2 I have heard Sri E. Seshagiri Rao, the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Civil Supplies. The petitioner is a fair price shop dealer of shop No.14 of Patancheru Mandal. By the impugned proceedings, respondent No.2 has issued a show cause notice to the petitioner calling for her explanation as to why her authorization shall not be cancelled on the two allegations referred therein. In response to the said show cause notice, the petitioner is stated to have submitted her explanation on 29.04.2010. The grievance of the petitioner is that though more than five months had elapsed from the time of receiving the petitioner’s explanation, respondent No.2 has not passed any orders and has been continuing the petitioner under suspension. In my opinion, there is no justification for respondent No.2 to keep the proceedings pending despite the petitioner offering her explanation as far back as April, 2010. Respondent No.2 is, therefore, directed to complete the enquiry and pass appropriate orders on the show cause notice dated 23.04.2010 in the light of the explanation dated 29.04.2010 offered by the petitioner and the material, if any, submitted by her in support of her explanation within a period of three weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. Subject to the above direction, the Writ Petition is disposed of. As a sequel to disposal of the writ petition, W.P.M.P.No.32432 of 2010 filed by the petitioner for interim relief is disposed of as infructuous. ________________________ C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J 07th October, 2010 GHN
