Questioning the impugned order passed by the first respondent-Joint Collector, Guntur District, dated 24-1-2005 dismissing the appeal in A.C.D.Dis.No.11/2004-S7 filed by the petitioner against the proceedings of the second respondent-Revenue Divisional Officer, Tenali in Rc.No.1970/02/K, dated 14-5-2004 suspending the authorization of the petitioner as Fair Price Shop dealer of Stuartpuram village, Bapatla Mandalam, pending further enquiry and till finalisation of the disciplinary case against him, the present writ petition is filed. The main grievance of the petitioner is that though the order suspending his authorization was passed on 14-5-2004, till date the respondents have not initiated any consequential proceedings in finalizing the disciplinary proceedings pending against him. The learned Government Pleader for Revenue submitted that in view of pendency of the appeal filed by the petitioner before the Joint Collector, Guntur and thereafter the present writ petition, the respondents could not finalize the disciplinary proceedings initiated against the petitioner. Under the circumstances, instead of keeping the writ petition pending, it is appropriate to direct the second respondent-Revenue Divisional Officer, Tenali, Guntur District to complete the proceedings, if any, pending against the petitioner, as expeditiously as possible preferably within a period of six weeks from today. With the above direction, the writ petition is disposed of at the stage of admission. No costs. ______________ N.V. RAMANA, J Date: 21-4-2005 Svv .....
