THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE GODA RAGHURAM W.P.No. 4066 of 2007 01-03-2007 Between:- C. Upendrappa Petitioner And The Revenue Divisional Officer, Dharmavaram and another. Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE GODA RAGHURAM W.P.No. 4066 of 2007 Oral order: Petitioner’s authorization for running a Fair Price Shop in Yerrampalli village, Kalyanadurg mandal, Anantapur district was suspended pending inquiry on certain specified allegations. The petitioner preferred an appeal to the Joint Collector along with an application for interim relief. The application for interim relief was rejected. The petitioner’s grievance is that no inquiry has yet been commenced and the petitioner is put to the trauma of interminable suspension. In the circumstances, after hearing the learned Government Pleader for Civil Supplies, the writ petition is disposed of directing the first respondent to, expeditiously and in any event within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order, consider and take a final decision and pass a final order on the allegations which led to the suspension of the petitioner’s authorization. The reasoned decision of the first respondent shall be communicated to the petitioner within the aforesaid time without fail or demur. It is needless to mention that the first respondent shall comply with due process of law and procedure and offer the petitioner a fair and reasonable opportunity to submit his objections to the list of charges. No costs. GODA RAGHURAM, J Dated:01-03-2007 Pvks/*
