The Hon'ble Sri Justice C.V.Nagarjuna Reddy Writ Petition No.23324 of 2010 Date: 21-09-2010 Between: S.Venkata Ramaiah ..... Petitioner AND The Joint Collector (Civil Supplies) Prakasam District, Ongole and 2 others. .....Respondents Counsel for the Petitioner: Mr.I.Koti Reddy Counsel for the respondents: AGP for Civil Supplies The Court made the following: Order: This Writ Petition is filed for a Mandamus to declare the action of respondent No.1, in not passing order on the stay application filed along with the appeal, filed by the petitioner questioning proceedings in Rc.F/3236/2010, dated 23-08-2010, issued by respondent No.2, as illegal and arbitrary. I have heard Sri I.Koti Reddy, learned Counsel for the petitioner, and the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Civil Supplies representing the respondents. Perused the record. The petitioner is an authorized dealer of fair price shop No.41 of Pothavaram Village, Darsi Mandal, Prakasam District. By order, dated 23-08-2010, respondent No.2 has suspended his authorization on the basis of certain allegations. Feeling aggrieved by the said order, the petitioner is stated to have filed an appeal along with a stay application before respondent No.1 on 15-09-2010. The grievance of the petitioner is that respondent No.1 is not disposing of the said stay application. At the hearing, the learned Counsel for the petitioner submitted that as the appeal is pending before respondent No.1, the same may be directed to be disposed of within a reasonable time. In view of this innocuous request made by the learned Counsel for the petitioner, the Writ Petition is disposed of with the direction to respondent No.1 to dispose of the petitioner’s appeal pending before him in accordance with law within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. As a sequel to disposal of the Writ Petition, WPMP.No.29843 of 2010, filed by the petitioner for interim relief, is disposed of as infructuous. ___________________________ (C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J) 21st September, 2010 lur
