HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE GODA RAGHURAM W.P.No. 5922 of 2007 ORAL ORDER: The petitioner’s authorization as the Fair Price Shop dealer of Balathimmaiahgaripalli H/o Surabhi Village, Chakrayapet Mandal, Kadapa District was suspended by an order of the 2nd respondent dated 9-8-2007, pending enquiry. Aggrieved thereby the petitioner preferred an appeal to the 1st respondent on 20-8-2005. By an order dated 3-1-2006 the 1st respondent while declining to interfere with the order of suspension pending enquiry passed by the 2nd respondent, directed the 2nd respondent to conclude the enquiry against the petitioner on the allegation which led to the suspension of his authorization within four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of the 1st respondent’s order. The petitioner’s grievance is that the 2nd respondent failed to conclude the enquiry within the time stipulated by the 1st respondent. For the aforesaid circumstances, after hearing the learned Government Pleader for Civil Supplies also, the writ petition is disposed of directing the 2nd respondent to expeditiously and in any event within 15 days from the date of receipt of a copy of this order, conclude the enquiry into the allegations against the petitioner which led to the suspension of his authorization by the order dated 9-8-2005. The reasoned decision of the 2nd respondent shall be communicated to the petitioner within the stipulated time. There shall be no order as to costs. _______________________ GODA RAGHURAM, J 23-03-2007 GRR
