SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No.18517 of 2009 ORDER : This writ petition is filed by the fair price shop dealer of Shop No.20 of Sarlagondi village of Nagayalanka Mandal in Krishna District, questioning the validity of the order, dated 20.08.2009, issued by respondent No.1 in Proceedings Rc.C.994/2009. The authorization granted to the petitioner is suspended by impugned order, dated 20.08.2009, alleging certain irregularities against the petitioner. At the stage of admission, this Court, by order dated 17.09.2009, granted interim suspension and the said order continued all along. When the matter is taken up, it is represented by the learned Government Pleader that on the allegations made against the petitioner, the inquiry is still pending before the 1st respondent-Revenue Divisional Officer. With regard to the charges referred to in the impugned order, it is a matter for inquiry by the Revenue Divisional Officer. As it is stated that the inquiry is still pending, and taking into account the fact that the interim order passed by this Court is continued all along, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition, directing the 1st respondent-Revenue Divisional Officer to complete the inquiry initiated pursuant to the impugned proceedings, 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 that the impugned order of suspension shall remain suspended till appropriate final orders are passed by the 1st respondent. Subject to the above directions, this writ petition is disposed of. No order as to costs. ______________________ R. SUBHASH REDDY, J 18th November 2011 ajr
