Questioning the said order of suspension, the petitioner approached the appellate authority i.e. 1st respondent-Joint Collector, Guntur District, and filed an appeal along with a petition seeking suspension of the said order, but however, as no orders have been passed, the petitioner approached this Court and filed W.P.No.16512 of 2009 and this Court was pleased to dispose of the writ petition by order dated 12-08-2009 with a direction to the 1st respondent herein to dispose of the appeal within a period of two weeks and in the event of his failure to dispose of the said appeal, the petitioner shall be permitted to supply the scheduled commodities to the cardholders, pending consideration of the appeal. Pursuant thereto, the 1st respondent disposed of the appeal by order dated 12-08-2009, remanded the matter to the 2nd respondent for disposal of the disciplinary proceedings within a period of six weeks from the date of receipt of the order, in accordance with law. But the 2nd respondent failed to dispose of the disciplinary proceedings disobeying the orders of the 1st respondent. Aggrieved by the same, the petitioner approached this Court and filed the present writ petition. 2. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Civil Supplies. 3. Apparently, the 2nd respondent is the concerned authority to hold an enquiry and dispose of the disciplinary proceedings and the said proceedings are still pending. In that view of the matter, this writ petition can be disposed of with a direction to the 2nd respondent to complete the enquiry and dispose of the disciplinary proceedings. 4. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of directing the 2nd respondent-Revenue Divisional Officer, Narsaraopet, Guntur District, to compete the enquiry and dispose of the disciplinary proceedings, at the earliest, preferably, within a period of eight weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. Further, it is needless to observe that the 2nd respondent shall put the petitioner on notice and shall also afford him an opportunity of personal hearing. It is also made clear that as the authorization of the petitioner was suspended on 26-05-2009 and till today he is not allowed to supply the scheduled commodities, the 1st respondent shall permit the petitioner to distribute the scheduled commodities to the card holders, during pendency of the said enquiry. There shall be no order as to costs. ______________ October 27, 2009 kvr
