HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE R. SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No.25525 of 2006 Date : 29.09.2011 Between : Avanigadda Sridevi. …..Petitioner And The Joint Collector, Prakasam District & another. …..Respondents HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE R. SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No.25525 of 2006 ORDER : This writ petition is filed, complaining of inaction on the part of the 1st respondent-appellate authority under the provisions of the A.P. Public Distribution System (Control) Order, 2001, in not disposing of the application filed by the petitioner for grant of stay in the appeal filed by her against the orders of the 2nd respondent-Revenue Divisional Officer, dated 23rd November 2006, passed in Proceedings Rc.C/1865/2006. The petitioner is authorized fair price shop dealer for distribution of kerosene oil for the cyclone victims. Her authorization was suspended on certain allegations, by order dated 23rd November 2006, passed by the 2nd respondent-Revenue Divisional Officer, Ongole, in Proceedings No.Rc.C/1865/2006. As against the same, it is stated that the petitioner carried the matter by way of appeal before the Joint Collector on 30th November 2006, along with an application for grant of stay, but the appellate authority is not disposing of her application for grant of stay. At that stage, the petitioner filed this writ petition in the year 2006, and this Court, by way of interim order dated 8th December 2006, passed in W.P.M.P.No.32717 of 2006, granted interim directions suspending the impugned order of suspension passed against the petitioner. Though the writ petition is of 2006, no counter affidavit is filed by the respondents, controverting the allegations made by the petitioner and the interim order granted by this Court on 8th December 2006, is continued all along. In view of the fact that there is no rebuttal of the allegations made by the petitioner and the interim order passed by this Court is continued since 8th December 2006, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition with a direction to the 1st respondent that if the appeal preferred by the petitioner on 30th November 2006 is pending as on today, the same shall be disposed of as expeditiously as possible, preferably within a period of three months from the date of receipt of this order. There shall be a further direction to the respondents that the order passed by the 2nd respondent-Revenue Divisional Officer, dated 23rd November 2006, issued in Proceedings Rc.C/1865/2006, shall remain suspended till appropriate final orders are passed by the appellate authority in the appeal filed by the petitioner. Subject to the above directions, the writ petition is disposed of. No order as to costs. ______________________ R. SUBHASH REDDY, J 29th September 2011 ajr
