THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.23928 of 2010 Date:27.09.2010 Between: Smt. K. Appamma. ..... Petitioner AND Government of Andhra Pradesh, represented by its Principal Secretary, and others. .....Respondents Counsel for the Petitioner: Sri K.G.K. Prasad Counsel for Respondents: Government Pleader for Civil Supplies The Court made the following: ORDER: This writ petition is filed for a Mandamus to set aside the order dated 28.08.2010 of respondent No.3 cancelling the petitioner’s fair price shop authorization. From the averments contained in the affidavit filed in support of the writ petition, it is evident that against the order impugned in the writ petition, the petitioner filed an appeal before respondent No.2 on 07.09.2010 along with stay petition. The petitioner has pleaded that respondent No.2 has not even numbered the appeal nor given any date for hearing of stay petition. At the hearing Sri K.G.K. Prasad, learned counsel for the petitioner, submitted that the action of respondent No.3 in cancelling the dealership of the petitioner is without any legal basis and is mala fide. Inasmuch as the cancellation order is subject matter of appeal before respondent No.2, I am not inclined to adjudicate on this contention raised by the learned counsel for the petitioner. In my opinion, interests of justice would be served, if respondent No.2 is directed to dispose of the stay petition at the earliest. In this view of the matter, respondent No.2 is directed to entertain the appeal and the stay petition filed by the petitioner and dispose of the stay petition within a period of one week from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. Subject to the above direction, the Writ Petition is disposed of. As a sequel to disposal of the writ petition, W.P.M.P.No.30613 of 2010 filed by the petitioner for interim relief is disposed of as infructuous. ________________________ C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J 27th September, 2010 Note: Issue CC in three days.
