THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO WRIT PETITION No.8477 of 2010 Dated:16.04.2010 Between: T.Praveen Kumar. …Petitioner and The Collector, Civil Supplies, Karimnagar District, And others. …Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO WRIT PETITION No.8477 of 2010 ORDER: The petitioner is a licensed dealer of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG). On certain complaints that he was demanding more than the prescribed deposit for release of new connections, the District Supply Officer along with Assistant Supply Officer and Deputy Tahsildar, Sulthanabad, inspected the petitioner’s premises. It appears, Smt.Kasarla Varamma, Smt.P.Vimala, Smt.Mulkala Jayaprada, Smt.Kasarla Sujatha and Smt.Kasarla Padma gave statements that the petitioner was demanding Rs.4,000/- to Rs.4,800/- and Rs.5,100/- for giving new connections. In addition, Smt.Mulkala Jayaprada, Smt.Kasarla Sujatha and Smt.Kasarla Padma of Gudipalli Village also deposed that the petitioner was charging Rs.330/- for refill cylinder. On these allegations exercising powers under Clause 28(2) of the Andhra Pradesh Petroleum Products (Licensing and Regulation of Supplies) Order, 1980 (the order), the Joint Collector suspended the petitioner’s Form-B licence by proceedings dated 22.03.2010. The petitioner filed W.P.No.6935 of 2010. This Court disposed of the same on 29.03.2010 giving liberty to prefer an appeal under Clause 31 of the Order to the Commissioner of Civil Supplies observing that the appellate authority may pass orders on the stay application within a period of one week. The grievance of the petitioner in this writ petition is that though the arguments were heard on 06.04.2010 in the main appeal, orders are not passed. Only on that ground, the writ petition cannot be entertained, especially, when the law ordinarily does not permit availing of remedies simultaneously along with the writ petition as held by the Supreme Court in Bombay Region Development Authority v Gokul Patel[1]. Therefore, this Court is not inclined to accept the writ petition. However, this Court observes that the appellate authority, namely, the Commissioner of Civil Supplies, may pass appropriate orders in the appeal immediately. The petitioner is given liberty to approach the appellate authority with a copy of this order. The Writ Petition is dismissed accordingly. _____________ (V.V.S.RAO, J) 16.04.2010 Note: Issue C.C by tomorrow. B/o. vs [1] (1995) 1 SCC 642
