Heard Sri V.H.V.R.R.Swamy, learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Civil Supplies. Against the order of cancellation of his license, the petitioner filed statutory appeal before respondent No.3. It is averred in the affidavit filed in support of the writ petition that since respondent No.3 is on leave, the office of the Commissioner (Civil Supplies) received papers, though the learned counsel for the appellant/petitioner insisted that he be permitted to present the appeal in person before the Commissioner and plead for disposal of the stay application. The learned Assistant Government Pleader for Civil Supplies says that since the Commissioner of Civil Supplies is in-charge, she is prepared to pass orders on the stay application filed by the petitioner after hearing the learned counsel for the appellant/petitioner. In view of this submission of the learned Assistant Government Pleader, the writ petition is disposed of without going into the merits of the case, with the direction to the Commissioner (Civil Supplies) to dispose of the stay application filed by the petitioner within a period of ten (10) days, after hearing the learned counsel for the appellant/petitioner. As a sequel to disposal of main petition, WPMP.No.14081 of 2008 filed by the petitioner for interim relief is disposed of as infructuous.
