THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA WRIT PETITION No.22364 of 2009 ORDER: The petitioner is a dealer of fair price shop No.34, situated at Ammapuram Village, Thorrur Mandal, Warangal District. On the allegation of black-marketing of transporting PDS rice from Ammapuram Village to Thorrur Town, his authorisation was suspended by the first respondent-Revenue Divisional Officer, Mahabubabad, vide proceedings, dated 16.10.2009. Aggrieved by the same, the petitioner filed this writ petition. Admittedly, against the impugned order passed by the first respondent, an appeal lies to the Joint Collector under Clause 20 of the Andhra Pradesh State Public Distribution System (Control) Order, 2008. In the circumstances, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition with a direction to the petitioner to approach the appellate authority i.e. Joint Collector, Warangal by way of appeal against the impugned order, dated 16.10.2009, within a period of two (2) weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. On such appeal being filed, the Joint Collector shall consider the same within a period of four (4) weeks thereafter. If for any reason the appeal is not decided within the said period of four weeks, the authorisation of the petitioner shall be restored and he shall be permitted to distribute the essential commodities to the card-holders. There shall be no order as to costs. _______________________ GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA,J Dt:19.10.2009 Note: Issue cc in two days. (B/o) kdl
