THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE NOUSHAD ALI WRIT PETITION No.24495 of 2011 Date: 30.08.2011 Between: Smt. B. Manjula … Petitioner and The District Collector, Civil Supplies, Kurnool and others. … Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE NOUSHAD ALI WRIT PETITION No.24495 of 2011 ORDER : Heard Sri K. Rajanna, learned counsel appearing for the petitioner, as well as the learned Government Pleader for Civil Supplies appearing for the respondents. Having regard to the limited relief sought for by the learned counsel at the hearing to direct the 1st respondent to dispose of the stay petition filed along with the revision petition within a time frame, with the consent of both the counsel the writ petition is being disposed of at the admission stage. 2. The petitioner is a Fair Price Shop dealer of Shop No.2 of Gonegandla Village and Mandal, Kurnool District. The authorisation of the petitioner is valid upto 31.3.2012. The Regional Vigilance and Enforcement Team of Special Tahsildar and others inspected the shop of the petitioner on 11.2.2011 and detected that the petitioner has committed certain irregularities. Basing on a report dated 14.2.2011 submitted in that regard, the 3rd respondent-Revenue Divisional Officer, Adoni, Kurnool District, initiated proceedings under the provisions of A.P. State Public Distribution System (Control) Order, 2008 and after following the due procedure cancelled the authorisation of the petitioner vide proceedings Rc.M.No.333/11, dated -4-2011 (signed on 16.4.2011). On an appeal preferred by the petitioner against the said order, the 2nd respondent-Joint Collector, Kurnool, vide proceedings Rc.CS3/140/2011, dated 3.8.2011 dismissed the said appeal confirming the orders of the 3rd respondent. Aggrieved by the same, the petitioner filed a revision petition before the 1st respondent-District Collector, Civil Supplies Wing, Kurnool, on 17.8.2011 along with a petition seeking stay. The grievance of the petitioner is that even though considerable time has elapsed, the 1st respondent has not passed any orders on the stay petition. In the meanwhile, the 3rd respondent is taking steps to appoint a fresh dealer in place of the petitioner. Therefore, the petitioner has filed the present writ petition. 3. Indisputably, being unsuccessful in the appeal filed before the 2nd respondent-appellate authority against the orders of the 3r d respondent-primary authority cancelling the authorisation, the petitioner filed a revision before the 1st respondent-revisional authority on 17.8.2011 along with a stay petition. Even though considerable time has elapsed, the 1st respondent has not passed any orders on the said stay petition. In matters of this nature, the Statutory authorities are expected to pass appropriate orders expeditiously within a time frame so as to avoid hardship to the parties. 4. Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case and in view of the limited relief sought for during the course of hearing, the writ petition is disposed of directing the 1st respondent to dispose of the stay petition, which was filed along with the revision petition, filed by the petitioner against the order dated 3.8.2011 of the 2nd respondent and pass appropriate orders in accordance with law as expeditiously as possible, preferably within a period of two weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. No order as to costs. ________________________ JUSTICE NOUSHAD ALI 30.08.2011. NOTE:- Issue C.C. in two days.
