IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD (Special Original Jurisdiction) PRESENT: THE HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY TUESDAY, THE SIXTEENTH DAY OF JUNE, TWO THOUSAND NINE ONLY WRIT PETITION No.25071 of 2006 Between: M.Rajasekhar Reddy. … Petitioner. And Revenue Divisional Officer, Anantapur, Anantapur District and another. … Respondents Counsel for the petitioner: Sri K.Srinivas. Counsel for the respondents: AGP for Civil Supplies. This Court made the following: ORDER:- This Writ Petition is filed for issuance of a Writ of Mandamus to set aside order dated 24-11-2006 of respondent No.1, whereby he suspended the authorization of fair price shop No.1 of Garladinne village, held by the petitioner. At the hearing, it is admitted by the learned counsel for the petitioner that this Court has not interdicted the order of suspension and the petitioner’s authorization is continuing to be under suspension. The learned counsel further submitted that the appeal filed by the petitioner is also pending before the appellate authority. Since more than 2½ years elapsed from the date of passing of the impugned order, which was interim in nature, pending enquiry, no useful purpose will be served by directing the appellate authority to dispose of the appeal. Instead, respondent No.1 is directed to dispose of the enquiry and pass a final order within a period of six weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order, if not already done. Subject to the above direction, the Writ Petition is disposed of. ------------------------------------ C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY,J Date:16-6-2009 MNR
