IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD (Special Original Jurisdiction) MONDAY, THE TWENTY FIRST DAY OF FEBRUARY TWO THOUSAND AND ELEVEN PRESENT THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE SANJAY KUMAR WRIT PETITION NO. 26689 OF 2008 BETWEEN Mr. G. Naveen Kumar ... PETITIONER AND The District Collector, Chittoor and Another ...RESPONDENTS The Court made the following: ORDER: The fair-price shop dealer of Shop No.11, Tirupathi Town, Chittoor District, the petitioner herein, was placed under suspension pending enquiry by the Revenue Divisional Officer, Tirupathi by Order dated 17-10- 2008. Complaining that he was not given reasonable opportunity prior thereto, he filed the present Writ Petition. 2. This Court, by order dated 05-12-2008, granted interim suspension of the impugned Order dated 17-10-2008. 3. While so, it is now brought to my notice by the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Civil Supplies that in spite of several notices being issued to him, the petitioner failed to participate in the enquiry held by the authorities and accordingly the authorization of the petitioner as the fair-price shop dealer of Shop. No.11, Tirupathi Town, Chittoor district was cancelled under the Order dated 04-02-2009 passed by the Revenue Divisional Officer, Tirupathi. In that view of the matter, the grievance of the petitioner with regard to his suspension pending enquiry no longer survives for consideration. The petitioner would necessarily have to initiate separate proceedings if he is aggrieved by the cancellation of his authorization under the Order dated 04-02-2009 passed by the Revenue Divisional Officer, Tirupathi. 4. The present writ petition is rendered infructuous by subsequent developments and is accordingly dismissed. The interim order dated 05-12-2008 shall stand vacated. In the circumstances, there shall be no order as to costs. ______________ SANJAY KUMAR, J February 21, 2011 SP/ISL THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE SANJAY KUMAR WRIT PETITION NO. 26689 OF 2008 Dated: February 21, 2011
