Counsel for the Petitioner: M/S.MOHAN VINOD & ASSOCIATES Counsel for the Respondents: GP FOR CIVIL SUPPLIES The Court made the following : ORDER: Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Civil Supplies appearing on behalf of the respondents and with their consent the writ petition is taken up for disposal at the stage of admission. The petitioner filed this writ petition questioning the impugned order passed by the first respondent-District Collector, Medak in Proc.No.CSA/1/Rev/2005, dated 09-02- 2005 granting stay of the orders, dated 20-01-2005, of the second respondent-Joint Collector, Sangareddy, Medak District, who stayed the operation of the orders passed by the third respondent, dated 10-01-2005 suspending the authorization of the petitioner in respect of Fair Price Shop, Anthergoan village, Kalher Mandal of Medak District. The petitioner states that the Sarpanch of the Gram Panchayat, Anthergoan village has no locus standi to file a revision before the first respondent-Collector against the order of the second respondent-Joint Collector granted in favour of the petitioner. The petitioner further states that the appeal filed by her on 20-01-2005 against the orders of the third respondent, dated 10-01-2005 is still pending before the second respondent. Though this Court ordered notice before admission and granted interim suspension of the impugned order of the first respondent, dated 09-02-2005, no counter-affidavit is filed on behalf of the respondents. Under the circumstances, without going into the merits of the case, I deem it appropriate to direct the second respondent-Joint Collector, Sangareddy, Medak District to dispose of the appeal filed by the petitioner, dated 20-01-2005, in accordance with law expeditiously, after giving opportunity of hearing to the parties concerned. Till such time, status quo obtaining as on today shall be maintained. With the above direction, the writ petition is disposed of at the stage of admission. No costs. ______________ N.V.
