THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R. SUBHASH REDDY Writ Petition No.1041 of 2009 ORDER: 1 Petitioner is an authorised Fair Price Shop Dealer for distribution of essential commodities of PC Pyapili Thanda Village, Vajrakarur Mandal, Ananthapur District. On certain allegations against the petitioner, the primary authority i.e. Revenue Divisional Officer, Ananthapur passed an order dated 15.04.2007 in proceedings D.Dis.No.CS/2177/2007 suspending the authorisation of the petitioner after conducting enquiry. The said order was confirmed by the appellate authority, as against which the petitioner had carried the matter in revision before the first respondent herein. During the pendency of the revision, the petitioner filed an application seeking stay of operation of the order of suspension and as the said application was not decided, he approached this court and filed the present Writ Petition. 2 At the stage of admission, this Court by order dated 27.01.2009 granted interim suspension of the order of the Revenue Divisional Officer and the said order continued all along. 3 When the matter is taken up for hearing, the learned Assistant Government Pleader submitted that the revision filed by the petitioner is still pending. 4 In view of the pendency of the revision before the first respondent and inasmuch as the very prayer itself in this Writ Petition is to declare the inaction on the part of the first respondent in passing any order on the application for grant of stay during the pendency of the revision before the first respondent, this court is of the prima facie opinion that it is not desirable to record any finding on the charges framed against the petitioner in the present Writ Petition. 5 Taking into account the interim order passed by this court on 27.01.2009, which is in force as of now, and as it is pleaded that the petitioner is still continuing as dealer of the said Fair Price Shop as on today, I deem it appropriate to dispose of this Writ Petition directing the revisional authority i.e. District Collector, Ananthapur to dispose of the revision petition filed by the petitioner as expeditiously as possible, preferably, within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. It is needless to observe that the revisional authority will give notice of hearing to the petitioner before passing any orders on the revision petition filed by the petitioner. However, there shall be a further direction to the respondents that the order passed by the Revenue Divisional Officer dated 15.04.2007 in proceedings D.Dis.No.CS/2177/2007 suspending the authorisation of the petitioner, as confirmed by the appellate authority, shall remain suspended till appropriate final orders are passed by the revisonal authority in the revision filed by the petitioner. 6 Subject to the above directions, this Writ Petition is disposed of. No order as to costs. -------------------------- R.Subhash Reddy, J. 11.11.2011 Kvsn
