THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO WRIT PETITION No.1630 of 2009 23.3.2010 Between: K.Sudhakar, S/o.K.Subbarayudu …Petitioner and The Revenue Divisional Officer, Nandyal, Kurnool District and another …Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO WRIT PETITION No.1630 of 2009 ORDER: Petitioner is the dealer of fair price shop (FPS) of Santhapeta in Koilakuntla Town. By an order dated 03.5.2008, second respondent cancelled his authorisation. Aggrieved by the same, petitioner preferred an appeal before the first respondent under Clause 20(1) of the Andhra Pradesh State Public Distribution System (Control) Order, 2008. Even while the same is pending, present writ petition is filed seeking declaration that suspension beyond 90 days is illegal and arbitrary. This Court admitted the writ petition on 03.2.2009 and passed the following interim order. It appears, the petitioner was appointed as a Fair Price Shop dealer of Koilakuntla Town for Wards 1, 2 and 3 on 29.1.2004. While that being so, the authorization of the petitioner was suspended by the 2nd respondent-Tahsildar, Koilakuntla, Kurnool District as per G.O.Ms.No.47, dated 06.10.2007, by an order dated 03.5.2008, on certain irregularities alleged to have been committed by the petitioner. According to the petitioner, till today the 1st respondent, as required under law, has not passed any orders of extending his suspension, which was issued on 03.5.2008 and, thus, it must be deemed that his authorization is subsisting as per law. In view of the above, there shall be interim direction to the respondents to supply essential commodities for being distributed to the cardholders of Wards 1, 2 and 3 of Koilakuntla Town, for which the petitioner was the dealer, if the suspension order passed on 03.5.2008 is not extended beyond 90 days. When the matter listed under the caption “specially mentioned case” is called today, after hearing the counsel for petitioner and the Assistant Government Pleader for Civil Supplies, this Court is of considered opinion that it is better to dispose of the matter. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of, directing the first respondent to pass appropriate final orders in the appeal filed by petitioner within a period of three weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. No costs. ______________ (V.V.S.RAO, J) March 23, 2010. YS
