THE HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY W.V.M.P.No.2493 of 2006 & W.P.M.P.No.17934 of 2006 and WRIT PETITION No.14404 of 2006 Date: 22.04.2008 Between: K.Dhananjaya Reddy … Petitioner AND Joint Collector, Anantapur district. And others. … Respondents Counsel for the petitioner : None Counsel for the respondents : G.P. for Civil Supplies HON’BLE MR.JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY W.V.M.P.No.2493 of 2006 & W.P.M.P.No.17934 of 2006 and WRIT PETITION No.14404 of 2006 ORDER:- This is an application to vacate interim order dated 14.7.2006 passed in W.P.M.P.No.17934 of 2006. At the hearing, there is no representation for the petitioner. However, in view of the nature of the issue involved in the writ petition, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the main writ petition at this stage. The writ petition is filed questioning the proceedings dated 8.5.2006 whereby respondent No.2 suspended the fair price shop authorization of the petitioner pending enquiry. The petitioner filed appeal before respondent No.1 against the said order. He filed the present writ petition feeling aggrieved by the action of respondent No.1 in not disposing of the application for stay filed in the appeal. This Court by order dated 14.7.2006 while admitting the writ petition suspended the order passed by respondent No.2. Inasmuch as the validity of order dated 8.5.2006 passed by respondent No.2, which is assailed in this writ petition, is the subject matter of appeal before respondent No.1, I am of the view that it is not proper for this Court to determine the legality or otherwise of the said order. The writ petition is therefore, disposed of with the direction to respondent No.1 to dispose of the appeal filed by the petitioner within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. Since, the petitioner is evidently being continued under the interim order he shall be allowed to function as fair price shop dealer till disposal of the appeal by respondent No.1. Subject to the above observations, the writ petition is disposed of. As a sequel to disposal of the writ petition, W.P.M.P.No.17934 of 2006 filed by the petitioner seeking interim relief is dismissed as infructuous. ___________________________ C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY,J Date:22.04.2008 mdaa
