HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE R. SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No.25977 of 2008 Date : 14.09.2011 Between : M. Balasubbaiah. …..Petitioner And The District Collector (C.S), Nellore District & others. …..Respondents HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE R. SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No.25977 of 2008 ORDER : This writ petition is filed, questioning the order, dated 18.10.2008, passed by the Revenue Divisional Officer, Kavali, in Proceedings Rc.B.No.1194/2008. By the aforesaid order, the authorization granted to the petitioner for distribution of scheduled commodities under the provisions of the A.P. Public Distribution System (Control) Order, 2001, is cancelled on certain allegations. It is submitted that as against the said order, the petitioner carried the matter by way of appeal before the Joint Collector, Nellore, as provided in the Control order and such appeal is still pending. This Court, at the stage of admission, by order, dated 27.11.2008, directed the respondents to continue the petitioner as a dealer. It is submitted by the learned counsel for petitioner that the allegations made against the petitioner are false and that the petitioner himself is running the fair price shop and is only taking the assistance of one Palagiri Alluru Raju, as much as the petitioner is handicapped. It is further contended that even the allegation with regard to selling of sugar and kerosene at higher rates is also false, not based on any material. It is not in dispute that against the orders of Revenue Divisional Officer, there is remedy of appeal before the Joint Collector, of which, the petitioner has already availed by filing appeal. As it is stated by the learned Government Pleader that such appeal preferred by the petitioner is pending before the Joint Collector, Nellore, it is not desirable for this Court to record any findings on the allegations levelled against the petitioner. Taking into account the fact that the appeal preferred by the petitioner is pending before the 2nd respondent-Joint Collector and the interim order passed by this Court on 27.11.2008 is continued all along, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition with a direction to the 2nd respondent-Joint Collector to dispose of the appeal preferred by the petitioner against the order, dated 18.10.2008, passed in Proceedings Rc.B.No.1194/2008, by the Revenue Divisional Officer, Kavali, as expeditiously as possible, preferably within a period of three months from the date of receipt of this order. There shall be a further direction that the interim order, dated 27.11.2008, passed by this Court in W.P.M.P.No.33997 of 2008, shall continue to operate till appropriate orders are passed by the appellate authority. Subject to the aforesaid directions, the writ petition is disposed of. No costs. ______________________ R. SUBHASH REDDY, J 14th September 2011 ajr
