THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE C.V. RAMULU WRIT PETITION NO.26969 OF 2006 DATED: 04-01-2007 Between: Ilavarapu Esteru Rani .. Petitioner and The Joint Collector, Prakasam District, (Civil Supplies), Ongole and others .. Respondents THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE C.V. RAMULU W.P.NO.26969 OF 2006 Order: This writ petition is filed seeking a mandamus declaring the action of the 1st respondent in not disposing of the stay petition filed along with the appeal preferred by the petitioner against the proceedings of the 2nd respondent in Rc.C/1738/2006 dated 07-12- 2006, as arbitrary and illegal. It appears, the petitioner is the Fair Price Shop Dealer of Valaparla Village of Martur Mandal, Prakasam District. While so, the Revenue Divisional Officer, Ongole, Prakasham District, by order dated 07-12-2006, suspended her authorization. Aggrieved by the same, the petitioner, in fact, invoked the statutory remedy by filing an appeal before the 1st respondent-Joint Collector, Prakasam District and the same is still pending. She has also filed a stay petition along with the said appeal. The grievance of the petitioner is that the stay petition is not yet disposed of. Therefore, she filed this writ petition. While admitting the writ petition on 28-12-2006, this Court granted interim suspension of the impugned proceedings before the 1st respondent. Now, a vacate stay petition is filed by one of the card holders of the said Fair Price Shop seeking to vacate the said interim order granted by this Court on 28-12-2006. In view of the above, without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, I deem it appropriate to direct the Joint Collector, Prakasam District-1st respondent to dispose of the very appeal purported to have been filed by the petitioner, within a period of four (4) weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order and communicate the same to the petitioner and, till such time, the interim order granted by this Court shall continue. Wit the above direction, the writ petition is disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs. ____​__________ C.V. RAMULU, J 4th January 2007. Note:- Issue copy of order in three (3) days. B/O IBL
