IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD (Special Original Jurisdiction) PRESENT: THE HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY THURSDAY, THE ELEVENTH DAY OF JUNE, TWO THOUSAND NINE ONLY WRIT PETITION No.22141 of 2006 Between: S.Veeranjaneyulu. ..... PETITIONER AND The Joint Collector, Anantapur, Anantapur District and two others. .....RESPONDENTS Counsel for the petitioner: Sri K.Srinivas. Counsel for the respondents: AGP for Civil Supplies for R.1 to R.3. This Court made the following: ORDER:- At the interlocutory stage, this Writ Petition is taken up for hearing and disposal with the consent of the learned counsel for the parties. Petitioner’s fair price shop dealership was suspended by respondent No.2 by order dated 7-10- 2006. The petitioner filed an appeal before respondent No.1 questioning the said order. As his application for stay was not disposed of, the petitioner filed the present Writ Petition. This Court by order dated 26-10-2006 granted interim suspension of the order of respondent No.2 suspending the petitioner’s authorization. In the counter-affidavit filed by the respondent No.1, it is, inter alia, stated that the appeal filed by the petitioner is still pending before him. In the above facts of the case, I feel that no purpose will be served in respondent No.1 disposing of the said appeal at this length of time. Instead, respondent No.2 is directed to complete the enquiry, if not already done, within a period of eight weeks from today. The petitioner shall be continued as a fair price shop dealer till the passing of appropriate orders by respondent No.2. Subject to the above directions, the Writ Petition is disposed of. ------------------------------ ------ C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY,J Date:11-6-2009. MNR
