THE HON’BLE Ms. JUSTICE G. ROHINI WRIT PETITION No.8464 OF 2000 ORAL ORDER: The Writ Petitioner was granted an authorization in respect of fair price shop at Rajuvaripeta, Cuddapah Mandal. The 3rd respondents - Revenue Divisional Officer, issued a show cause notice dated 21.03.1996, calling upon the petitioner to show cause as to why his authorization should not be cancelled on the ground of alleged irregularities in distribution of essential commodities to the cardholders. The petitioner submitted his explanation dated 15.07.1996, and having considered the same, the Revenue Divisional Officer, passed order dated 19.07.1996, whereunder it was held that the charges framed against the petitioner were established, and accordingly, the authorization of the petitioner was cancelled. Challenging the same, the petitioner preferred an appeal before the 2nd respondent -Joint Collector, Cuddapah. The said appeal was dismissed by order dated 23.11.1996. Though the petitioner preferred a Revision before the 1st respondent-District Collector, the same was also dismissed by order dated 18.03.2000. Hence, this writ petition seeking a Writ of Mandamus declaring that the order of cancellation of authorization passed by the Revenue Divisional Officer, as confirmed by the respondents 1 and 2, is arbitrary and illegal. I have heard the learned counsel for the petitioner as well as the learned Government Pleader appearing for the respondents and perused the material on record. As can be seen from the show cause notice, three charges were framed against the petitioner, which run as under: “Charge No.1 That he is selling the essential commodities at higher rates than the rates fixed by the Government. Charge No.2: That he has misutilised 3.00 quintals of Rice, 48 Kgs of Sugar and 50 Litres of K.Oil without distributing to 20 cardholders. Charge No.3: That he has misused a quantity of 2.30 quintals of Rice, 28 Kgs of Sugar and 32 Litres of K. Oil relating to 16 bogus cards every month by making fictitious entries in the said bogus cards, as if he has distributed essential commodities to the said bogus cards.” Though the petitioner denied the said allegations, the 3rd respondent having conducted due enquiry, concluded that since all the charges were fully established and since the charges are grave in nature relating to the misuse of essential commodities, the authorization of the petitioner is liable to be cancelled. The respondents 1 and 2 on re-appreciation the material on record, by well-considered orders confirmed the said findings. Having regard to the fact that all the three authorities have concurrently found that the charges framed against the petitioner are proved, and particularly, having regard to the nature of the allegations made against the petitioner, I do not find any justifiable reason to interfere with the order of cancellation as upheld by the respondents 1 and 2. The impugned orders, which do not suffer from any error of fact or law, do not warrant interference in exercise of the jurisdiction under Article 226 of the Constitution of India. The writ petition is accordingly dismissed. No costs. _____________ (G. ROHINI, J.) 30th January, 2006. Kgr THE HON’BLE Ms. JUSTICE G. ROHINI WRIT PETITION No.8464 OF 2000 30th January, 2006,.
