HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE R. SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No.24020 of 2006 Date : 27.09.2011 Between : M/s.Venkateswara Oil Agency, Amnagal, rep. by its Proprietor. …..Petitioner And The District Collector (Civil Supplies), Ranga Reddy. …..Respondent HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE R. SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No.24020 of 2006 ORDER : The petitioner is a wholesale kerosene dealer at Hayatnagar. He is a licencee under the provisions of the A.P. Petroleum Products (Licence and Regulation) Order, 1980, a Control Order framed under the provisions of the Essential Commodities Act, 1955. On the allegation that the petitioner has parked his tanker with kerosene in an unauthorized place on the road side infront of M/s.Vijay Retreading Company at Autonagar, Hayatnagar with an intention to divert the PDS kerosene oil into black market, the licence of the petitioner was suspended in exercise of powers under Clause 28(2) of the A.P. Petroleum Products (Licence and Regulation) Order, 1980. At the stage of admission, this Court granted interim suspension by order dated 17.11.2006, and since then the said order is in force. It is contended by the learned counsel for petitioner that there is no basis for the allegation levelled against the petitioner and mere parking of tanker cannot be construed that it was intended for diversion of kerosene. In view of the said contention, it is a matter for inquiry by the competent authority, but this Court cannot record any finding on such allegation, at this stage. As much as the impugned order is one passed in exercise of power under Clause 28(2) of the Control Order, which is of temporary nature, and further, as it is stated that the inquiry is still pending, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition directing the respondent herein to complete the inquiry on the allegation levelled against the petitioner and pass appropriate final orders as expeditiously as possible. There shall be a further direction that the impugned order of suspension shall remain suspended till appropriate final orders are passed by the competent authority. Subject to the above directions, the writ petition is disposed of. No order as to costs. ______________________ R. SUBHASH REDDY, J 27th September 2011 ajr
