Counsel for the Petitioner:MR.O.MANOHER REDDY Counsel for the Respondents: GP FOR CIVIL SUPPLIES The Court at the stage of admission made the following ORDER: The authorization of the petitioner was suspended by the second respondent through a show cause notice-cum-suspension order dated 04.12.2004. The petitioner claims to have preferred an appeal against the same before the first respondent. Alleging that no orders have been passed either in the application for stay or in the appeal, the petitioner approached this Court by filing the writ petition. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Government Pleader for Civil Supplies. The second respondent had framed as many as 10 charges against the petitioner in the show cause notice-cum-suspension order. The truth or otherwise of the same needs to be considered only on perusal of the record. It is too difficult for this Court either to record any finding or to come to a prima facie conclusion as to the truth of the same. Inasmuch as the petitioner has already availed the remedy of appeal, this Court is not inclined to interfere at this stage. Hence, the writ petition is disposed of directing the first respondent to pass appropriate orders in the appeal preferred before him by the petitioner within six weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. No order as to costs. ------------------------ 20.12.2004 ksld To 1 The Joint Collector, Anantapur. 2 The Revenue Divisional Officer, Anantapur. 3 The Mandal Revenue Officer, Putlur Mandal, Anantapur District. 4 Two CCs to the Government Pleader for Civil Supplies, A.P.High Court Buildings, Hyderabad (OUT). 5 Two CD copies.
