THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA Writ Petition No.25451 OF 2009 ORDER: 1 Petitioner is an authorised fair price shop dealer of Devenoor village, Dharmasagar Mandal, Warangal District. The Assistant Revenue Inspector, having inspected the business premises of the petitioner submitted a report to the Revenue Divisional Officer stating that there are certain irregularities. On the basis of the said report the Revenue Divisional Officer suspended the authorisation of the petitioner on 14.10.2009 and directed the Tahsildar to make alternate arrangements for supply of the scheduled commodities to the cardholders. Pursuant thereto the Tahasildar issued proceedings dated 21.10.2009 making alternate arrangements. The same is questioned in this Writ Petition. 2 In my considered view, this Writ Petition is not maintainable for the reason that the Tahsildar is simply implementing the order passed by the Revenue Divisional Officer. In fact, it is the order of the Revenue Divisional Officer, which has to be challenged. Further, as provided for under Clause 20 of the Control Order, the petitioner is having an alternative and efficacious remedy i.e. by filing an appeal. However, as the petitioner is ready to face the enquiry to be conducted, this Writ Petition can be disposed of with a direction to the Revenue Divisional Officer to complete the enquiry expeditiously. 3 Accordingly, this Writ Petition is disposed of at the stage of admission with a direction to the Revenue Divisional Officer to complete the enquiry within a period of eight weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. If for any reason the enquiry is not completed within the aforesaid period, the petitioner’s authorisation shall be restored and the petitioner shall be permitted to distribute the commodities to the cardholders during the pendency of the enquiry. No order as to costs. ------------------ 24.11.2009 kvsn
