THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA Writ Petition No.24568 OF 2009 ORDER: 1 Petitioner is a Toddy Tappers Cooperative Society and the second respondent made a surprise check of the petitioner’s toddy shop on 29.10.2009 and as he found the toddy adulterated with Chloro Hydrate, he seized the entire stock and registered a case in Cr.No.B3/274/2009. Thereafter the disciplinary authority i.e. Superintendent of Prohibition and Excise suspended the petitioner’s licence pending enquiry. The same is questioned in this Writ Petition. 2 The main grievance of the petitioner is that before passing the order of suspension, the first respondent did not put the petitioner on notice. In my considered view, before passing any order of suspension pending enquiry, no notice need be given. In fact, in the order impugned in this Writ Petition it is clearly stated that the said order of suspension passed by the authority on 04.11.2009 is only during the course of enquiry. Further, the petitioner is having a right of appeal by approaching the Deputy Commissioner as provided for under Section 63 of the A.P. Excise Act. For that reason also, this court is not inclined to entertain this Writ Petition. 3 Accordingly, this Writ Petition is disposed of giving liberty to the petitioner to approach the Deputy Commissioner and file an appeal within a period of two weeks from today. No order as to costs. ------------------- 12.11.2009 kvsn
