It is the grievance of the petitioner that the case is registered without proper verification of records and further, though there is no order from the competent authorities either suspending or canceling his authorization, the second respondent is not supplying the essential commodities, having received the Demand Drafts for allotment of PDS rice for the month of July, 2009.

It is made clear that if the petitioner has violated any conditions of supply, this order will not preclude the respondents to take appropriate action in accordance with law. Subject to above directions, the Writ Petition is disposed of. No order as to costs. _____________________ R.SUBHASH REDDY, J. 15th July, 2009. Note : Issue C.C. today. B/o skmr/yvl
