Devaiah … Petitioner and The Joint Collector (CS), Karimnagar District, Karimnagar and thers. … Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE NOUSHAD ALI WRIT PETITION No.24688 of 2011 ORDER : Heard Sri K. Venumadhav, learned counsel appearing for the petitioner, as well as the learned Government Pleader for Civil Supplies appearing for the respondents, and with their consent the writ petition is being disposed of at the admission stage. 2. The petitioner is a Fair Price Shop dealer in respect of Shop No.3924 of Kodurupaka Village, Boinpalli Mandal, Karimnagar District. His authorisation is valid upto 31.3.2013. He has filed this writ petition complaining that the respondents are not supplying the commodities even though his authorization is in subsistence. 3. It appears that the Deputy Tahsildar (CS), Sultanabad, along with the Vigilance and Enforcement Officers inspected the shop of the petitioner on 09.08.2011 and found that the petitioner has committed certain irregularities. The grievance of the petitioner is that the 3rd respondent is not releasing the essential commodities to his shop allegedly on the ground that an enquiry is pending against him. It is stated that so far the petitioner has not received any notice nor any proceedings were initiated against him. Therefore, it is contended that the respondents are not justified in not supplying the essential commodities to the petitioner’s shop and preventing him from running the shop so long as his authorisation is in subsistence. 4. There does not appear to be any dispute that the authorization of the petitioner to run the Fair Price Shop is valid upto 31.3.2013 and the same has not been interdicted either by suspension or cancellation. Therefore, there is no justification on the part of the respondents to withhold the essential commodities to the petitioner’s shop so long as his authorization is in subsistence. 5. In the circumstances, the writ petition is disposed of directing the respondents to release the essential commodities to the shop of the petitioner as per his entitlement so long as his authorization is not suspended or cancelled and the same remains in force. No order as to costs. ________________________ JUSTICE NOUSHAD ALI 02.09.2011. NOTE:- Issue C.C. in three days.
