At the hearing, there has been no representation for the petitioner both in the forenoon and again in the afternoon. Learned Assistant Government Pleader for Civil Supplies placed before me a fax copy of letter dated 29.04.2008 addressed by the Tahsildar, Kadapa to the learned Government Pleader, wherein it is mentioned that the petitioner’s authorization was suspended by respondent No.2 vide his proceedings dated 12.04.2008. Unless the petitioner is successful in challenging the said order, he is not entitled to resumption of supplies. For the abovementioned reasons, the writ petition is dismissed. As a sequel to dismissal of the writ petition, WPMP.No.12693 of 2008 filed by the petitioner for interim relief is also dismissed. ____________________________ C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J Date: 01.05.2008 ES
