THE HON'BLE Ms. JUSTICE G. ROHINI WRIT PETITION No.8709 OF 2005 ORDER: The writ petitioner is the fair price shop dealer in respect of Shop No.5 of Markapur village and Mandal. The authorization of the petitioner was cancelled by the Revenue Divisional Officer, Markapur by proceedings dated 7.3.2005 on the ground of certain alleged irregularities in distributing the essential commodities. Aggrieved by the same, the petitioner preferred an appeal before the 1st respondent – Joint collector, Prakasam District. The 1st respondent while entertaining the appeal, by Order dated 5.4.2005 refused to grant stay, pending the appeal. The said Order is under challenge in this Writ Petition. Having heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader appearing for the respondents and keeping in view the scope of the controversy involved, I am not inclined to express any opinion on merits of the case. Since admittedly the Statutory Appeal is pending, I am of the opinion that it would be proper to dispose of the Writ Petition with a direction to the 1st respondent to dispose of the appeal pending on his file in accordance with law as expeditiously as possible, preferably within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of this order. The Writ Petition is accordingly disposed of. No costs. _________________ 9th November, 2005. Kgr THE HON'BLE MS JUSTICE G.ROHINI WRIT PETITION NO.8709 of 2005 09.11.2005. Between: K.
