HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R. SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No.26691 of 2008 Date: 20.10.2010 Between : G. Vinod Kumar. …….Petitioner And The District Collector, Chittoor & another. ….Respondents HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R. SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No.26691 of 2008 ORDER : The petitioner is a fair price shop dealer for distribution of essential commodities. In the writ petition, he has questioned the validity of the order, dated 17.10.2008, passed by the 2nd respondent-Revenue Divisional Officer in Proceedings No.ROC.K/2045/2008, by which, the authorization granted to the petitioner is suspended pending inquiry. This Court, by order dated 05.12.2008, suspended the impugned proceedings. Although it is the case of the petitioner that the allegations made against him are false and incorrect, it is a matter to be inquired into by the competent authority and it is not desirable for this Court to record any finding on the correctness or otherwise of the impugned order. As much as the impugned order is an order of suspension pending inquiry, which is suspended by this Court as early as on 05.12.2008, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition, with a direction to the 2nd respondent that if the inquiry is not completed after passing the order, dated 17.10.2008, such inquiry shall be completed and appropriate final orders shall be passed as expeditiously as possible, preferably within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. There shall be a further direction that the impugned order shall remain suspended till the inquiry is completed. Subject to the above directions, the writ petition is disposed of. No order as to costs. ______________________ R. SUBHASH REDDY, J 20th October 2010 ajr
