HON’BLE MR.JUSTICE R.SUBHASH REDDY Writ Petition No.26912 of 2008 Date: October 18, 2011 Between: K.Sarojana, D/o.Chandraiah … Petitioner And The District Collector (CS) Karimnagar District, at Karimnagar and others … Respondents Order: The petitioner, dealer for the fair price shop No.1619 of Kothagattu village of Shankarpatnam Mandal, Karimnagar District, has filed this writ petition questioning the order dated 28.11.2008, passed in proceedings No.K/5020/2008 by the 2nd respondent-Revenue Divisional Officer, Karimnagar, Karimnagar District. By the aforesaid order, on the allegation of the villagers that the petitioner is not residing in the village and also not distributing essential commodities properly, the authorisation of the petitioner is cancelled. At the stage of admission, this Court vide order dated 10.12.2008 in WPMP No.35249 of 2008, suspended the impugned order. The impugned order is mainly questioned on the ground that the allegations made against the petitioner are false and the impugned order is not preceeded by any show-cause notice; therefore the same is in violation of the principles of natural justice. Though the writ petition is of the year 2008, no counter-affidavit is filed rebutting the allegations of the petitioner. I have perused the impugned order, dated 28.11.2008, passed in proceedings No.K/5020/2008 by the 2nd respondent-Revenue Divisional Officer and there is no indication of giving any prior notice or opportunity to the petitioner before the same is passed. In view of the fact that there is no counter-affidavit rebutting the allegations made by the petitioner and this Court suspended the impugned order as long back as in the year 2008, I deem, it is a fit case to set-aside the impugned order. Accordingly, the order dated 28.11.2008, passed in proceedings No.K/5020/2008 by the 2nd respondent-Revenue Divisional Officer, is set- aside. However, if the petitioner is not residing in the village and if there are any specific allegations against her, this order will not preclude the respondents to issue a show-cause notice to the petitioner, consider her explanation and pass appropriate orders. Writ petition is allowed to the extent indicated above. No costs. _____________________ (R.SUBHASH REDDY, J) October 18, 2011 MRR
