THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE NOUSHAD ALI WRIT PETITION No.11117 of 2011 ORDER: Petitioner, who has suffered suspension of fair price shop authorisation of shop No.139, Bhagyanagar, Karimnagar, has filed this writ petition assailing the order of the second respondent –Revenue Divisional Officer, Karimnagar, passed in proceedings No.K/1599/2011, dated 23.03.2011. The Deputy Tahsildar (Civil Supplies), Sulthanabad, along with the Circle-Inspector of Police, Vigilance and Enforcement, Karimnagar, inspected the fair price shop in the presence of the petitioner and on verification of Stock Register, Sales Register, Release Order, Original Authorisation and ground balance of stock available in the shop, they noticed variations in respect of PDS Rice, AAY Rice, Sugar and Palmolin Oil. Based on the inspection report, the second respondent by the impugned order suspended the authorisation pending enquiry for contravention of Clauses 7(1), 17(b), 17(C) and 22(VIII) of the Andhra Pradesh Public Distribution System (Control Order) 2008 and Condition Nos.4 to 8 and 12 of the Authorisation. Aggrieved by the said order, the petitioner filed appeal on 06.04.2011 before the Joint Collector, Karimnagar. He has also filed an application seeking stay of the impugned order therein. Even as the stay application is pending, the petitioner has filed this writ petition for the aforesaid relief. A perusal of the relief sought in this writ petition shows that the petitioner has challenged the impugned order passed by the second respondent, against which, he has already filed appeal. Therefore, the petitioner is not entitled to pursue parallel remedies against the same order in this writ petition. Having regard to this situation, learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the first respondent be directed to consider the stay application filed by the petitioner within a time frame, for which, the learned Assistant Government Pleader does not express any objection. In the circumstances, this writ petition is disposed of directing the first respondent to dispose of the application filed by the petitioner seeking stay of order, dated 23.03.2011, passed by the second respondent, as early as possible, preferably, within a period of three (3) weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. No order as to costs. _________________ NOUSHAD ALI, J 20th APRIL, 2011. Note:issue c.c. in two (2) days. kvni
