On the same day, he issued a show cause notice to her. Aggrieved by the order of suspension, the petitioner filed an appeal before the first respondent. The appeal was disposed of on 21.11.2004 directing the second respondent to pass final orders, in pursuance of the show cause notice. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Civil Supplies. The necessity for this Court to examine the validity or otherwise of the order of suspension or for that matter the order of the first respondent rejecting the appeal is obviated, in view of the fact that the second respondent has passed final orders dated 31.12.2004 cancelling the authorization of the petitioner and served on the petitioner on 06.01.2005. In that view of the matter, no relief can be granted in this writ petition. Hence, the writ petition is dismissed. It is, however, left open to the petitioner to work out his remedies against the order of cancellation. There shall be no order as to costs. ---------------------- 10.02.2005 ksld To 1 The Joint Collector, Srikakulam District, Srikakulam. 2 The Revenue Divisional Officer, Srikakulam. 3 Mandal Revenue Officer, Amadalavalasa Mandal, Srikakulam District. 4 Two CCs. to the G.P. for Civil Supplies, High Court of A.P., Hyderabad(OUT). 5 Two CD copies.
