THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.4579 of 2011 Date:25.02.2011 Between: Smt. Navaneetha ..... Petitioner AND The Tahsildar, Medak and others .....Respondents Counsel for the Petitioner: Sri Akkam Eshwar Counsel for Respondents: Assistant Government Pleader for Civil Supplies The Court made the following: ORDER: This writ petition is filed for a mandamus to declare the inaction of respondent No.2 in passing orders on the show-cause notice dated 28.10.2010 as illegal. The petitioner sought for a consequential direction to respondent No.2 to permit her to lift the commodities for distribution of the same to the cardholders. I have heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Civil Supplies. The petitioner is the fair price shop dealer of shop No.1 of Haveli Ghanapur Village of Medak Mandal and District. On the basis of an inspection of the shop by the Tahsildar, Medak on 07.08.2010, he has addressed letter dated 11.08.2010 to the District Collector, Medak with a request to him to take action against the petitioner and another dealer of Haveli Ghanapur Village for certain irregularities allegedly committed by them. In pursuance thereof, respondent No.2 issued the show-cause notice dated 28.10.2010 to the petitioner calling upon her to explain the reasons why her authorization should not be suspended. The petitioner submitted her explanation dated 06.11.2010. It is the pleaded case of the petitioner that while no order has been passed by respondent No.2 on the explanation submitted by her, she is not being permitted to lift the commodities for distribution of the same to the cardholders. So long as the petitioner’s authorization remains in force, she is entitled to distribute the essential commodities to the cardholders. Having regard to the petitioner’s averment that so far no order has been passed either suspending or varying her authorization, respondent Nos.1 and 2 are directed to permit the petitioner to function as fair price shop dealer till such time as appropriate orders are passed on the show-cause notice dated 28.10.2010, provided the petitioner’s authorization has not been suspended till date. Subject to the above direction, the Writ Petition is disposed of. As a sequel to disposal of the writ petition, W.P.M.P.No.5667 of 2011 filed by the petitioner for interim relief is disposed of as infructuous. ________________________ C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J 25th February, 2011 GHN
