HON’BLE MR.JUSTICE R.SUBHASH REDDY Writ Petition No.247 of 2008 Date: October 11, 2011 Between: A.Srinivasulu, S/o.A.Ampanna, 1/1546, Gandhi Nagar, Yemmiganur, Kurnool District … Petitioner And The Joint Collector, Kurnool, Kurnool District and others … Respondents Order: The petitioner, a fair-price shop dealer of 8th ward, Yemmiganur, Kurnool District, seeks a Writ of Mandamus declaring the action of the 2nd respondent, Revenue Divisional Officer, Adoni, in issuing proceedings Rc.M.No.1176/2007, dated 07.11.2007, suspending her authorisation on the ground that a case under Section 6-A of the Essential Commodities Act, 1955 is registered against her. At the stage of admission, this Court, by order dated 08.01.2008 in WPMP No.257 of 2008, suspended the impugned order pending further orders and the said order continued all-along. When the matter is taken up, it is submitted by the Assistant Government Pleader for the respondents that no proceedings are initiated against the petitioner under the provisions of the A.P.Public Distribution (Control) Order, 2008 but a case is registered against the petitioner under Section 6-A of the Act. While it is open to the authorities to pass an order suspending the authorisation of the petitioner by initiating proceedings under the provisions of the Control Order, but, merely on the ground that a case is registered against her under Section 6-A of the Act, they cannot suspend her authorisation. For the aforesaid reasons, I deem, it is a fit case to set- aside the order dated 07.11.2007 passed in proceedings Rc.M.No.1176/2007, by the 2nd respondent-RDO. Accordingly, the said order is set-aside. However, it is made clear that if there are any allegations against the petitioner, it is open to the respondents to conduct an enquiry and pass appropriate orders. Writ petition is accordingly disposed of. No costs. _________________ (R.SUBHASH REDDY, J) October 11, 2011 MRR
