THE HON’BLE Ms. JUSTICE G. ROHINI WRIT PETITION No.10988 OF 2007 ORAL ORDER: This writ petition is filed seeking a declaration that the order passed by the 2nd respondent dated 8.5.2007, underwhich the authorisation of the petitioner as the dealer of fair price shop No.II of Motkur village, Doma Mandal, Ranga Reddy District was canceled, as arbitrary and illegal. At the outset, the learned Government Pleader for Civil Supplies raised an objection as to the maintainability of the writ petition pointing out that the petitioner has already preferred an Appeal, and the same is pending before the 1st respondent. However, a perusal of the impugned order dated 8.5.2007 itself shows that the same was passed without referring to any of the pleas raised by the petitioner in his explanation and without assigning any reasons to support the conclusion that the petitioner’s authorisation is liable to be cancelled. The law is well settled that absence of reasons is one of the grounds for exercising the power of judicial review since the same would amount to violation of principles of natural justice. Hence, the impugned order is liable to be set aside on that ground alone. Accordingly, the impugned order is set aside and the writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the 2nd respondent to consider the explanation given by the petitioner and pass appropriate orders afresh in accordance with law within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. No costs. ______________ 21st June, 2007. (G. ROHINI, J.) Note: Issue CC in two days. (Bo) THE HON’BLE Ms. JUSTICE G. ROHINI WRIT PETITION No.10988 OF 2007 21st June, 2007. Between: Sri G.
