HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R. SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No.28612 of 2007 Dated: 21.09.2010 Between: Smt. P. Lalitha. …..Petitioner And The District Collector (C.S), Nizamabad District & others. …..Respondents HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R. SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No.28612 of 2007 ORDER : Although interlocutory applications are listed for hearing, at the request of the learned counsel for the parties, the writ petition itself is taken up for hearing and is being disposed of. The petitioner is a fair price shop dealer for distribution of essential commodities in Khemraj Khallali village of Jukkal Mandal in Nizamabad District. On the allegation that she was collecting higher rates than the permitted rates while selling the PDS rice and kerosene oil, the authorization of petitioner was cancelled as early as on 10.12.2007, by proceedings No.B/3553/2007, issued by the Tahsildar, Jukkal Mandal. This Court, at the time of admission, by an order dated 04.01.2008, suspended the impugned order. During the course of arguments, it is submitted by the learned Government Pleader appearing for respondents, that the inquiry initiated against the petitioner is still pending and no final orders are passed so far. With regard to the allegation that the petitioner was collecting higher price than the permitted price on rice and kerosene, is a matter for inquiry. As much as the order of suspension was passed as early as on 10.12.2007, which was suspended by this Court by an order, dated 4th January 2008, and as it is not in dispute that the petitioner is being continued as a dealer in view of the interim orders of this Court, and also in view of the submission made by the learned Government Pleader that the inquiry is still pending, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition with a direction to the 2nd respondent-Revenue Divisional Officer, to conduct inquiry on the allegations, which are subject matter of the impugned proceedings, and pass appropriate final orders, as expeditiously as possible. There shall be a further direction to the respondents that the order impugned shall remain suspended till appropriate final orders are passed by the 2nd respondent. Subject to the above directions, the writ petition is disposed of. No order as to costs. ______________________ R. SUBHASH REDDY, J 21st September 2010. ajr
