Counsel for the Petitioner: MR.R.RAMANJANEYULU Counsel for the Respondents 1 to 3: GP FOR CIVIL SUPPLIES The Court at the stage of admission made the following : ORAL ORDER: Heard both sides. Perused the material placed before me. Record reveals that the second respondent herein suspended the authorisation of the petitioner, as a fair price shop dealer. Aggrieved thereby, the petitioner filed an appeal before the first respondent. It further appears that along with the said appeal, the petitioner filed an application seeking interim stay of the order of the second respondent. The grievance of the petitioner is that the appellate authority is not disposing of the appeal as well as the interim application seeking stay of the impugned order. Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, I dispose of the writ petition with a direction to the first respondent to pass appropriate orders on the application filed by the petitioner seeking interim stay of the order of the second respondent, as well as the appeal, as expeditiously as possible, after giving due opportunity to the petitioner. No costs. ---------------------------- kvsn 16-03-2005 To 1 The Joint Collector, Kurnool, Kurnool District. 2 The Revenue Divisional Officer, Adoni, Kurnool district. 3 The Mandal Revenue Officer, Devanakonda, Kurnool District. 4 Two CCs to GP for Civil Supplies, High Court buildings, Hyderabad. 5 Two CD copies.
