Counsel for the Petitioner:MR.A.PRABHAKAR RAO Counsel for the Respondents:GP FOR CIVIL SUPPLIES The Court made the following : ORDER: This writ petition is filed seeking a mandamus to declare proceedings bearing No.D/2163/2007, dated 06.09.2007 issued by the second respondent cancelling the authorization of the petitioner in respect of fair price shop bearing No.4526 of Godavari Khani Area, Ramagundam Mandal, Karimnagar District and also the action of the first respondent in not disposing of the appeal filed against the aforesaid proceedings, despite the directions issued by this Court in Writ Petition No.27378 of 2007, dated 20.12.2007, as arbitrary and illegal. It appears, the petitioner was granted authorization to run a fair price shop bearing No.4526 of Godavari Khani Area, Ramagundam Mandal, Karimnagar District. While so, his authorization was cancelled after conducting due enquiry by the second respondent - Revenue Divisional Officer, Peddapalli vide his proceedings, dated 06.09.2007, aggrieved by which, the petitioner filed Writ Petition No.27378 of 2007. On 20.12.2007, while disposing of the said writ petition, this Court gave liberty to the petitioner to avail alternative remedy by way of appeal and directed the appellate authority to dispose of such appeal expeditiously. Accordingly, he preferred an appeal before the first respondent aggrieved by proceedings, dated 06.09.2007 issued by the second respondent. Now, the grievance of the petitioner is that the first respondent is not disposing of the appeal filed by him, despite the direction issued by this Court in the said writ petition. Under those circumstances, without expressing any opinion on merits, I deem it appropriate to direct the first respondent to dispose of the appeal purported to have been filed by the petitioner being aggrieved by proceedings, dated 06.09.2007 issued by the second respondent, within a period of four (4) weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order, positively. With the above directions, the writ petition is disposed of. No costs. ________________ C.V.RAMULU, J 12th FEBRUARY, 2009. kvni
