The petitioner alleged that the father and close relatives of respondent No.3 have been working either as kerosene hawkers or fair price shop dealers and that therefore, she incurred disqualification for being appointed as fair price shop dealer and ignoring the same, she is appointed as fair price shop dealer for extraneous reasons. Having regard to these serious allegations made by the petitioner, respondent No.1 ought to have passed an appropriate order in the stay application expeditiously. Therefore, respondent No.1 is directed to pass orders on the stay application filed by the petitioner in the pending appeal, within a period of one week from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. Subject to the above direction, the writ petition is disposed of. As a sequel to disposal of the writ petition, W.P.M.P.No.3555 of 2011 filed by the petitioner for interim relief is disposed of as infructuous. C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J 11th February, 2011 VGB
