PETITIONER AND .....RESPONDENTS Petition under Article 226 of the constitution of India praying that in the circumstances stated in the Affidavit filed herein the High Court will be pleased to Counsel for the Petitioner:MR.KOWTURU VINAYA KUMAR Counsel for the Respondent No.: GP FOR REVENUE The Court made the following : ORAL ORDER: The petitioner is a dealer of fair price shop No.49 of Allipalli village, Chintalapudi Mandal of Eluru Division. The Revenue Divisional Officer, Eluru - second respondent, issued show cause notice dated 26.4.2008 to the petitioner pointing out certain lapses. On consideration of the explanation offered by the petitioner, the second respondent passed an order dated 26.4.2008, placing the petitioner under suspension pending enquiry. Aggrieved by the order of suspension, the petitioner availed remedy of appeal before the first respondent. Her grievance is that though an application for stay was filed, no orders have been passed thereon and the order of suspension is operating against her. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Civil Supplies. It is true that the petitioner availed statutory remedy of appeal aggrieved by the order of suspension. However, having regard to the nature of the proceedings, this court is not inclined to issue any directions to enable the petitioner to continue as Fair Price Shop Dealer. On the other hand, necessary directions can be issued to the second respondent to conclude the enquiry initiated against the petitioner. Hence, the writ petition is disposed of directing the second respondent to conclude the enquiry which is pending against the petitioner, within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. No order as to cost. ___________________ L.Narasimha Reddy, J. May 29, 2008 MAS/PNV ..... REGISTRAR // TRUE COPY // SECTION OFFICER To 1.2CCs to 2.2CD copies
