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.21495 of 2006 Between: D.Yasodha. ..... PETITIONER AND The Mandal Revenue Officer, Kulkacherla, Kulkacherla Mandal, Ranga Reddy District and another. .....RESPONDENTS Counsel for the petitioner: Sri L.Prabhakar Reddy Counsel for the respondents: AGP for Civil Supplies. This Court made the following: ORDER:- At the interlocutory stage, the Writ Petition is taken up for hearing and disposal with the consent of the learned counsel for the parties. Order dated 4-10-2006, by which the petitioner’s fair price shop authorization was suspended by respondent No.1, is questioned in this Writ Petition. Though the petitioner raised the issue of jurisdiction of respondent No.1 to suspend his authorization, the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Civil Supplies placed reliance on G.O.Ms.No.8, Consumer Affairs, Food and Civil Supplies (CS.I) Department, dated 1-2-2006, in support of his submission that under the said G.O., the Mandal Revenue Officer is entrusted with the power to suspend the authorization of fair price shops. It is not necessary for this Court to go into this aspect because the order of suspension was suspended by this Court on 16-10-2006. Admittedly, enquiry is still pending. In view of the same, the Writ Petition is disposed of, without going into the merits of the case, with the direction to respondent No.2 to complete the enquiry and pass a final order within a period of eight weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. Till then, the petitioner shall be continued as a fair price shop dealer. --------------------------- --------- C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY,J Date:11-6-2009. MNR
