The authorization of the petitioner was cancelled by second respondent by proceedings dt.13.12.2004. Aggrieved by the same, petitioner carried the matter by way of appeal under Clause 20 of the Andhra Pradesh State Public Distribution System (Control) Order, 2001 (for short, the Control Order). The same was also dismissed by impugned proceeding dt.1.3.2005, which is assailed in the Writ Petition. The Control Order provides for effective alternative remedy by way of revision to the District Collector. The petitioner has not availed the same. Therefore, it would not be proper for this Court to go into merits of the case. While ordering status quo for a period of two weeks, the Writ Petition is disposed of giving liberty to the petitioner to file revision under Clause 21 of the Control Order before the District Collector and also move an application for appropriate interim orders. As and when such revision is filed, the District Collector shall deal with the same and pass appropriate orders in the revision as well as in the application for stay. The Writ Petition with the above observations and directions is disposed of. No costs. _______________ (V.V.S.RAO, J) 4.7.2005 bnr Note:CC by 6.7.2005.
