By order dated 12.01.2009 passed by the Sub Collector, Penukonda the petitioner’s authorisation was cancelled. Aggrieved by the same, the petitioner filed an appeal before the Joint Collector and Additional District Magistrate, Anantapur. However, the appeal was also dismissed by order dated 15.12.2009. Thereafter, the petitioner preferred a revision petition before the 1st respondent-District Collector and the same is pending. It is stated that though the petitioner sought stay of the impugned order of cancellation pending the revision petition, the 1st respondent failed to consider the same. I have heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Civil Supplies appearing for the respondents. The material on record shows that during the pendency of the appeal before the Joint Collector and Additional District Magistrate, the order of cancellation dated 12.01.2009 was suspended and the petitioner was allowed to carry on the business. In the circumstances, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition with a direction to the 1st respondent to dispose of the revision petition pending on his file following due process of law, as expeditiously as possible preferably within a period of three months from the date of receipt of this order. Till such time, the order of cancellation passed by the 3rd respondent dated 12.01.2009 shall remain suspended. No costs. _____________ Date: 23.02.2010 G. ROHINI, J.
