Counsel for the Petitioner: MR.KOTI REDDY IDAMAKANTI Counsel for the Respondent No.: GP FOR CIVIL SUPPLIES The Court made the following : THE HON’BLE Ms. JUSTICE G. ROHINI WRIT PETITION No. 23470 of 2008 O R D E R : Petitioner is the authorized dealer of the fair price shop of Pothavaram Village, Darsi Mandal, Prakasam District. His authorization was cancelled by the 3rd respondent herein by order dated 29-02-2008. Aggrieved by the same, the petitioner preferred an appeal before the 2nd respondent, which also ended in dismissal by order dated 31-10-2008. Challenging the same, the petitioner preferred a revision petition before the 1st respondent along with an application for stay. Alleging that the 1st respondent failed to consider his revision, the present writ petition has been filed. Having heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Civil Supplies appearing for the respondents and having regard to the fact that the revision petition is pending before the 1st respondent, though I am not inclined to go into the merits of the case and express any opinion, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition with a direction to the 1st respondent to dispose of the revision petition pending on his ﬁle as expeditiously as possible preferably within a period of six weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. Keeping in view the earlier order passed by this Court in W.P.No.6470 of 2008 dated 27-03-2008 under which the petitioner was allowed to distribute the commodities during the pendency of the appeal before the 2nd respondent, the order of cancellation dated 29-02-2008 as conﬁrmed on appeal by the 2nd respondent on 13-10-2008 shall remain suspended till the revision petition is disposed of by the 1st respondent. No costs. ______________ G. ROHINI, J Date: 29-10-2008 Note: Issue operative portion by wire. B/o KLP
