A detailed explanation was offered by the petitioner on 18-09-2009. Thereafter, the 2nd respondent, who was not satisfied with the said explanation, cancelled the petitioner’s authorization by his proceedings, dated 29-09-2009. Questioning the said order, the petitioner approached the appellate authority i.e., the 1st respondent-Joint Collector, Kadapa and filed an appeal on 19-10-2009.

Though it is about two months, as no orders have been passed in the said appeal, petitioner approached this Court and filed the present Writ Petition. 2. Heard learned counsel appearing for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Civil Supplies appearing for the respondents. 3. When the matter was taken up for hearing this Court directed the learned Government Pleader to get instructions. Though the matter was adjourned twice, the learned Government Pleader expressed her inability stating that she did not get instructions. 4. Taking the above facts and circumstances of the case, this Court suspended the said order of cancellation on 22-10-2009. Pursuant thereto, the petitioner is permitted to distribute the scheduled commodities. As the appeal is filed in time and the petitioner is continuing as Fair Price shop dealer by virtue of the interim orders passed by this Court, this Court is of the view that this Writ Petition can be disposed of with a direction to the 1st respondent-Joint Collector, Kadapa to decide the appeal at the earliest, preferably within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. It is needless to observe that during pendency of the appeal, the petitioner shall be continued as the Fair Price shop dealer of shop No.22 of Patha Rayachoti, Kadapa District. 5. Accordingly, Writ Petition is disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs. _______________________ T.GOPALAKRISHNA,J 21st December, 2009. Tsy
