HON'BLE SRI ANIL R. DAVE, THE CHIEF JUSTICE and HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V. NAGARJUNA REDDY Dated: 05-02-2010 WRIT APPEAL No. 64 OF 2010 Between: T. Yedukondalu ... APPELLANT AND The Joint Collector (C.S Wing), Ongole, Prakasam District and three othrs ... RESPONDENTS HON’BLE THE CHIEF JUSTICE, SRI ANIL R. DAVE AND HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V. NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT APPEAL No. 64 OF 2010 JUDGMENT: (per Sri C.V. Nagarjuna Reddy, J) In this writ appeal, the only grievance of the appellant who was the fair price shop dealer of Lakkavaram Village and whose appeal is pending before respondent No.1 is that the direction given by the learned single Judge to maintain status quo may adversely affect his interest in relation to the stay application pending before respondent No.1. From a reading of the order of the learned single Judge, we do not find the apprehension of the appellant as well founded because the learned single Judge while taking note of the respective submissions of the parties regarding the arrangements for distribution of essential commodities through the fair price shop in question directed that status quo obtaining as on the date of passing of the order to be maintained, pending disposal of the appeal and stay application by respondent No.1. We make it clear that this observation would not come in the way of respondent No.1 in independently considering the application for stay filed by the appellant against order dated 07-01- 2010 passed by respondent No.2 cancelling the fair price shop dealership. Respondent No.1 is directed to dispose of the stay application of the appellant uninfluenced by the above mentioned direction of the learned single Judge within a period of one week from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. Subject to the above observations, the writ appeal is disposed of. As a sequel to disposal of the writ appeal, WAMP No. 178 of 2010, filed by the appellant for interim relief, is disposed of as infructuous. ANIL R. DAVE, CJ C.V.
