HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE GODA RAGHURAM WRIT PETITION No. 3288 of 2007 DATED: 22-02-2007 Between: Smt Bramaramba …Petitioner and The Revenue Divisional Officer, Adoni, Kurnool District and another …Respondents. HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE GODA RAGHURAM W.P.No. 3288 of 2007 ORAL ORDER: The writ petition is misconceived. The petitioner is the authorisee of a Fair Price Shop of Arikera Village, Aluru Mandal, Kurnool District. On allegation of irregularities, her authorization was suspended for a period of three months pending enquiry by the impugned order of the 1st respondent. The petitioner’s contention is that three months period is not required for completing the enquiry and placing her authorization under suspension for that long a period, is arbitrary. In the considered view of this Court, suspension pending enquiry for a period of three months ordered by the impugned proceedings does not tantamount to a statement that the enquiry would take three months. The enquiry may be completed earlier. In any event, suspension pending enquiry ordered for a period of three months is a more salutary exercise of discretion then an order of suspension pending enquiry indefinitely. It is not contended that the 1st respondent has no jurisdiction or authority to pass the impugned order. On the analysis above, there are no merits in the writ petition. The writ petition is accordingly dismissed at the stage of admission after hearing the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Civil Supplies. There shall be no order as to costs. _______________________ GODA RAGHURAM, J 22-02-2007 GRR
