THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO WRIT PETITION No.8341 of 2010 Dated:15.04.2010 Between: Sri M.Narayana Setty. …Petitioner and The Tahsildar, B.K.Samudram, Anantapur District, And another. …Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO WRIT PETITION No.8341 of 2010 ORDER: The petitioner is a Fair Price Shop dealer of Podaralla Village of B.K.Samudram Mandal in Ananthapur District. By an order dated 25.02.2010 the authorization of the petitioner was suspended by the first respondent on an allegation that he failed to maintain stock register and sales register for February 2010, and that there are severe irregularities in distribution of essential commodities to the public. Aggrieved by the same, the petitioner preferred an appeal before the second respondent. He also filed an application for stay. By impugned proceedings dated 01.04.2010 the stay application was rejected. Aggrieved by the same, the present writ petition is filed. There is no dispute that the Tahsildar is a competent jurisdictional authority under the proviso to Clause 5(7) of the Andhra Pradesh State Public Distribution System (Control) Order, 2008, to temporarily place the dealer under suspension. Whether in the facts and circumstances of the case such suspension was warranted or not, strictly speaking, cannot be subject matter of judicial review unless it is shown as highly arbitrary. In this case this Court is convinced that having regard to the severe irregularities alleged against the petitioner the order passed by the revisional authority as well as the appellate authority cannot be interfered with. In this background it would be in the interest of justice to direct the appellate authority to dispose of the appeal itself within a period of ten days from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. Petitioner is given liberty to approach the Revenue Divisional Officer with a copy of this order. The Writ Petition is disposed of with the order as above. _____________ (V.V.S.RAO, J) 15.04.2010 Note: Issue C.C by tomorrow. B/o. vs
