THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V. RAMULU Friday, 25th August, 2006 W.P.No.17564 of 2006 Between: G. Ramesh … Petitioner and The Joint Collector, Guntur, Guntur District and others … Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V. RAMULU W.P.No.17564 of 2006 ORAL ORDER: Heard both sides. The only grievance of the petitioner is that when his authorization for the fair price shop of Abbur village, Sattenapalli Mandal, Guntur District was cancelled by Proceedings of the 2nd respondent-Revenue Divisional Officer dated 5-6-2006, he has filed an appeal before the 1st respondent-Joint Collector, Guntur and the 1st respondent though entertained the appeal, however, erroneously rejected the stay petition by an Order dated 20-7-2006. Granting of stay is purely a discretionary order in the facts and circumstances of the case. In the present case, the 1st respondent through his Order dated 20-7-2006 categorically indicated that on a perusal of the record and grounds of appeal, the request of the petitioner for grant of stay needs to be rejected. In view of the above, no interference can be made with such an Order. However, the 1st respondent is directed to dispose of the appeal pending before him, within a period of six weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. Till such time, no permanent arrangement shall be made against the fair prices shop of Abbur village, Sattenapalli Mandal. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is disposed of. No order as to costs. 25-8-2006 prk
