HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R.SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No.25686 of 2008 ORDER: In this writ petition, the petitioner has questioned the order, dated 04.10.2008, passed by the Revenue Divisional Officer, Bandar, Krishna District, vide proceedings in Rc.C.1162/2008. By the said order, the fair price shop authorization granted to the petitioner under the A.P. State Public Distribution System (Control Order), 2001, in respect of Shop No.8 of Avanigadda Village and Mandal, Krishna District, was suspended pending enquiry. This Court, while admitting the writ petition on 25.11.2008, granted interim stay of the impugned order and the said order continued all along. Though the writ petition is of the year 2008, no counter-affidavit is filed by the respondents rebutting the averments made by the petitioner in the affidavit, filed in support of the writ petition. Today, when the matter is taken up, it is submitted by the learned counsel for the petitioner and also by the learned Government Pleader for Civil Supplies appearing for the respondents that the enquiry into the allegations made against the petitioner is still pending and no final orders are passed by the authorities concerned. In view of the fact that the averments contained in the affidavit, filed in support of the writ petition, are not rebutted by the respondents by filing counter-affidavit and also having regard to the fact that the interim order passed by this Court as far back as on 25.11.2008, continued till now, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition, without going into the merits, with a direction to respondent No.1 to complete the enquiry and pass appropriate orders on the allegations levelled against the petitioner, as early as possible, preferably within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. There shall be a further direction that the impugned order shall remain suspended till appropriate final orders are passed in the enquiry. Subject to the above directions, the Writ Petition is disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs. ______________________ R.SUBHASH REDDY, J 15th September 2011 DR
