HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.24386 of 2010 Date 01.10.2010 Between: V.Jhansi Rani. ..... PETITIONER AND The Revenue Divisional Officer, Chittoor, Chittoor District & another. .....RESPONDENTS Counsel for the Petitioner :Sri C.Kumar Counsel for the Respondents :Assistant Government Pleader for Civil Supplies HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.24386 of 2010 ORDER: This Writ Petition is filed for a Mandamus to set aside proceedings No.B/2212/2010 dated 08.09.2010 of respondent No.1. I have heard Sri C.Kumar, learned Counsel for the petitioner, and perused the record. The petitioner’s fair price shop’s authorization has been suspended by the impugned order passed by respondent No.1. The main contention of the petitioner is that before passing the said order, no notice has been given. From a perusal of the impugned order, it is evident that the petitioner’s authorization was suspended pending enquiry. The law is well settled that the competent authority is vested with the incidental and ancillary power to pass an interim order suspending the authorization during the pendency of the enquiry and that no prior notice is required for such action. If the petitioner feels aggrieved by the order of suspension, he is entitled to invoke the appellate jurisdiction by availing the remedy of appeal under the provisions of the extant control order. The Writ Petition is accordingly dismissed, without going into the legality or otherwise of the impugned order, with liberty to the petitioner to avail the remedy of appeal at her option. As a sequel to dismissal of the main petition, WPMP.No.31220 of 2010 filed by the petitioner for interim relief is disposed of as infructuous. C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY,J Date:01.10.2010 usd
