HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE R. SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No.21586 of 2010 Date : 30.08.2010 Between : Gangatla Daleppanna. …..Petitioner And The Joint Collector, Srikakulam & another. …..Respondents HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE R. SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No.21586 of 2010 ORDER : In this writ petition, the petitioner has questioned the order, dated 23rd of January 2010, issued by the 2nd respondent-Revenue Divisional Officer in R.C.No.120/2010, whereby, the authorization of petitioner is suspended, alleging certain irregularities. The petitioner is a fair price shop dealer for shop No.1 in Hiramandalam village and Mandal of Srikakulam District. On 05.01.2010, there was an inspection in to the business premises of the petitioner and respondents have noticed certain variations in stocks when book balances are compared with the actual ground balances. Alleging such variations, and further alleging that the petitioner has not recorded the names of consumers in the sales register, his authorization is suspended by an order, dated 23rd of January 2010, issued in R.C.No.120/2010 (CS), by the 2nd respondent-Revenue Divisional Officer, pending inquiry. It is submitted that although the order of suspension is passed as early as on 23rd of January 2010, no further inquiry is conducted in the matter. The petitioner has questioned the order of suspension, dated 23.01.2010, pending inquiry. It is fairly submitted by the learned counsel for petitioner that pursuant to the order of suspension, alternative arrangements are already made and a temporary dealer is distributing the scheduled commodities. In view of the nature of allegations made against the petitioner, and as much as it is stated 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 complete the inquiry within a period of six weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order and pass appropriate final orders in the matter. Subject to the above direction, the writ petition is disposed of. No order as to costs. ______________________ R. SUBHASH REDDY, J 30th August 2010 ajr
