THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE R.SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No.28309 of 2010 ORDER: Petitioner is a toddy tappers cooperative society. Pursuant to a report on the allegation of adulteration of toddy, at the first instance, its license was suspended, and after conducting enquiry, by the impugned order, dated 29.10.2010, its license was cancelled. It is stated that as against the order of cancellation of license, the petitioner has filed appeal before the first respondent – Deputy Commissioner, Prohibition & Excise Department, Ananthapur, on 08.11.2010. Although it is submitted by the learned counsel appearing for the petitioner that there is no reason or justification for passing the impugned order, no member of the petitioner society is accused in the criminal proceedings, as such, there was no reason for passing the impugned order. Further, as the petitioner has already filed appeal, it is not desirable to record any finding on the plea of the petitioner. As the license of the petitioner was suspended pending enquiry and after enquiry, it was cancelled by the impugned order, and in view of pendency of appeal filed by the petitioner before the first respondent, I deem it appropriate to direct the first respondent to dispose of the appeal itself as expeditiously as possible, preferably, within a period of two (2) months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. Subject to the above direction, the writ petition is disposed of. No order as to costs. ______________________ R.SUBHASH REDDY, J 15th NOVEMBER, 2010. kvni
