HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY W.P.No.3844 of 2011 Date : 17-3-2011 Between : T.Shekulu .. Petitioner And State of Andhra Pradesh, Represented by its Secretary, Civil Supplies Department, Secretariat, Hyderabad and others .. Respondents Counsel for petitioner : Ms.D.Pramada Counsel for respondents : A.G.P. for Civil Supplies The Court made the following : ORDER: This Writ Petition is filed for a mandamus to declare the action of respondent No.4 in suspending authorization of the petitioner in respect of fair price shop in Damarancha village, Yeldurthi Mandal, Medak District as illegal and arbitrary. On an earlier occasion, this court has declined to interfere with the order impugned in this Writ Petition by dismissing W.P.No.29142/2010 with liberty to the petitioner to file an appeal. Accordingly, the petitioner filed an appeal which was disposed of by respondent No.3 by order dated 18-12-2010. Evidently, this court’s order dated 24-11-2010 was not received by respondent No.3 by the time the said appeal was disposed of. After receipt of the order of this court, respondent No.3 has addressed a letter dated 3-1- 2011 to respondent No.4 to clarify whether his order dated 10-11-2010 suspending the petitioner’s authorization was pending enquiry or as a substantive penalty. At that stage, the present Writ Petition is filed by the petitioner. Today, at the hearing the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Civil Supplies, on instructions from respondent No.4, submitted that his earlier order dated 10- 11-2010 was interim in nature pending enquiry and that he will complete the enquiry and pass a final order expeditiously. Having regard to the above facts, the Writ Petition is disposed of with the direction to respondent No.4 to complete the enquiry after giving the petitioner an opportunity of being heard and pass a final order within three weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. As a sequel to disposal of the Writ Petition, WPMP No.4755/2011 is disposed of as infructuous. ____________________ C.V.Nagarjuna Reddy.,J Date : 17-3-2011 AM
