IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD (Special Original Jurisdiction) PRESENT: THE HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WEDNESDAY, THE THIRTIETH DAY OFAPRIL, TWO THOUSAND EIGHT ONLY WRIT PETITION No.27017 of 2006 Between: Smt.K.Umadevi. … Petitioner And The District Collector, Anantapur, Anantapur District and two others. … Respondents Counsel for the petitioners: Sri M.Ganga Rao Counsel for the respondents: AGP for Civil Supplies. This Court made the following: ORDER:- At the interlocutory stage the Writ Petition is taken up for hearing and disposal with the consent of the learned counsel for the parties. The petitioner, who is a temporary fair price shop dealer of Siddarampuram village, Bukkapatnam Mandal, Anantapuram district, filed this Writ Petition felling aggrieved by the action of respondents in not supplying essential commodities for distribution. Sri M.Ganga Rao, learned counsel for the petitioner, submitted that though the petitioner’s authorization was not suspended, the respondents are not supplying the essential commodities to the shop of the petitioner and, hence, she was constrained to file the present Writ Petition. He further submitted that on 27-12-2006 this Court, while admitting the Writ Petition, directed the respondents to supply essential commodities to the petitioner’s fair price shop, if the authorization held by her is neither suspended nor cancelled. In the counter-affidavit filed by respondent No.2 it is averred that on 26-12-2006 he issued suspension order-cum- show cause notice to the petitioner and, hence, essential commodities were allotted to the adjacent fair price shop dealer from January, 2007. The petitioner has not filed any reply affidavit controverting the said averment. Since the suspension order was already passed, the Writ Petition, as it is conceived, has become infructuous. The Writ Petition is, accordingly, disposed of. The petitioner is permitted to submit her explanation to the show- cause notice dated 26-12-2006, if she has not already submitted, within a period of four weeks. On receipt of the same, respondent No.2 shall complete the enquiry within a period of four weeks thereafter. ------------------------------------ C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY,J 30-4-2008 MNR
