THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R. SUBHASH REDDY Writ Petition No.27414 of 2008 ORDER: 1 Petitioner who is the Fair Price Shop Dealer of K.Kottam village in Kotananduru Mandal of East Godavari District filed this Writ Petition questioning the order dated 12.11.2008 issued in reference No.G.2366/2008 dated 12.11.2008 of the first respondent by which, the authorisation granted to the petitioner as fair price shop dealer was suspended pending enquiry. 2 At the stage of admission, this court by order dated 04.03.2009 has suspended the impugned order mainly on the ground that it is not open for the respondents to place the authorisation under suspension pending consideration of the proceedings initiated under Section 6-A of the Essential Commodities Act, 1955. 3 When the matter is taken up, it is stated by the learned Government Pleader for Civil Supplies that in view of the pendency of the present Writ Petition, the enquiry could not be concluded and the charges framed against the petitioner are yet to be considered for passing appropriate final orders as per the provisions under the Andhra Pradesh Public Distribution System (Control) Order, 2008. 4 As the impugned order is passed pending consideration of 6-A proceedings, which is suspended by this court by order dated 06.03.2009, and as it is not in dispute that the petitioner is supplying the essential commodities as of now, I deem it appropriate to dispose of this Writ Petition with a direction to the respondents to complete the enquiry on the charges framed against the petitioner, which are subject matter of the impugned proceedings, within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. The impugned order suspending the authorisation of the petitioner shall remain suspended till appropriate orders are passed by the competent authority on the charges framed against him. 5 Accordingly the Writ Petition is allowed. No costs. ------------------------ R.Subhash Reddy, J. 21.09.2011 Kvsn
