THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE VILAS V. AFZULPURKAR WRIT PETITION NO : 11024 of 2010 ORDER: The petitioner’s authorization as Fair Price Shop Dealer of Shop No.3 of Parigi Mandal, Anantapur District, was cancelled by order of the Sub-Collector, Penukonda, Anantapur vide proceedings in D.Dis No.257/2010 C, dated 26.02.2010. Against the said order, the petitioner filed an appeal before the Joint Collector, Anantapur on 8.04.2010. The petitioner submits that the Mandal Revenue Officer’s report was not given to him though it was the basis for cancellation of his authorization. He also submits that there are substantial grounds in his favour and there is no reason to suspend or cancel his authorization. However, as the appeal is pending and no orders are passed, the petitioner is seriously prejudiced. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Government Pleader for Civil Supplies. It is apparent that after framing charges 1 to 3 and recording findings thereon, the Sub-Collector, Penukonda, through order, dated 26.02.2010, cancelled the authorization of the petitioner. However, the appeal filed by the petitioner is pending for the last more than a month. In the matter of this nature the interests of justice would be served by directing the Joint Collector, the first respondent herein, to hear and dispose of the appeal filed by the petitioner on 8.04.2010, as expeditiously as possible, preferably within a period of two weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. The petitioner is at liberty to urge all his contentions before the Joint Collector. With the above observations, the Writ Petition is disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs. _________________________ (VILAS V. AFZULPURKAR,J) 6th May, 2010 Note: C.C. tomorrow (B/o) Js.
