His authorization was cancelled on certain allegations. He preferred an appeal before the Joint Collector, who by order dated 22.09.2005 set aside the orders of cancellation resulting in restoration of authorization. Respondent Nos.3 and 4, who are statedly cardholders, preferred a revision before the ﬁrst respondent, who passed ex parte orders of stay on 09.11.2005. This is assailed in the writ petition. This Court while admitting the writ petition suspended the impugned order of the District Collector, as a result of which, statedly, the petitioner is discharging the duties as FPS dealer. In view of the above background facts and as none appears for respondent Nos.3 and 4, though notice is served on them, this writ petition is disposed of directing the District Collector to pass appropriate orders in the revision petition submitted by respondent Nos.3 and 4 within a period of three weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order after giving opportunity to the petitioner and respondent Nos.3 and 4. By virtue of the interim orders passed by this Court, if the petitioner is continuing as FPS dealer, he may be continued till ﬁnal orders are passed. No costs. ____________ (V.V.S.RAO, J) 21.10.2008 vs To 1 The District Collector (CS), Prakasam District at Ongole. 2 The Joint Collector, Prakasam District at Ongole. 3 2CCs to G.P for Civil Supplies, High Court of A.P., Hyderabad. 4 2CD copies Form-NIC-OGS/WP{JGK}
