HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R. SUBHASH REDDY Writ Petition No.21064 of 2010 Date: August 24, 2010 Between: B. Ganesham (Ganesh), S/o. Kondaiah, Aged 70 years, Occ: Fair-Price Shop Dealer, Shop No.0177, Jublinagar village, Karim- Nagar Mandal and District … Petitioner And The Joint Collector (CS), Karimnagar District, Karimnagar, and two others … Respondents Order: In this writ petition, the petitioner, a Fair-Price Shop Dealer, questions proceedings No.K/1501/2010, dated 20-03-2010, issued to him by the second respondent- Revenue Divisional Officer, Karimnagar. The petitioner is a dealer in essential commodities, having been granted authorization, with regard to Fair Price Shop No.0177 of Jublinagar, Karimnagar Mandal, Karimnagar District. Based on a report submitted by the third respondent-Tahsildar, Karimnagar Mandal, alleging certain irregularities committed by the petitioner in distributing essential commodities, the second respondent issued the impugned proceedings to the petitioner, as to why his authorization with regard to the said shop should not be cancelled. It is stated that on the same day, i.e. on 20-03-2010, the authorization of the petitioner was suspended and in pursuance of the impugned proceedings, the petitioner has submitted his explanation on 21-03-2010. The impugned proceedings is only a show-cause notice calling for explanation of the petitioner. A reading of the said notice would indicate that that allegations are made therein against the petitioner that he is not distributing essential commodities properly, not maintaining proper records and diverting essential commodities into black market. In reply to the said notice, the petitioner is stated to have already filed explanation on 21-03-2010. Whether the petitioner had committed irregularities in distribution of essential commodities or not is a matter within the domain of the respondents and this court cannot go into the said issue and record a finding thereon, at this stage. Hence, the impugned proceedings need not be interfered with. As much as it is stated that the petitioner had already submitted his explanation to the impugned show- cause notice on 21-03-2010, I dispose of the writ petition directing the second respondent-Revenue Divisional Officer, Karimnagar, to consider the said explanation of the petitioner and pass appropriate orders thereon, as expeditiously as possible, preferably within four weeks from the date of receipt of this order. No order as to costs. ___________________ (R. SUBHASH REDDY, J) August 24, 2010 N.B. C.C in 3 days B.O. MRR
