HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE R. SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No.25168 of 2006 Date : 29.09.2011 Between : Khaja Chinaiah. …..Petitioner And The District Collector, Guntur & others. …..Respondents HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE R. SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No.25168 of 2006 ORDER : This writ petition is filed, seeking directions by way of Mandamus, declaring the action of respondent No.3 in not releasing the essential commodities to the petitioner, who is an authorized fair price shop dealer of Renta Chinthala village and Mandal of Guntur District, as illegal and arbitrary. The petitioner is an authorized fair price shop dealer for distribution of essential commodities for Renta Chinthala village and his authorization was suspended on certain charges earlier, but on filing his explanation, the Revenue Divisional Officer, by order dated 4th August 2006, issued in Proceedings Rc.No.1812/2005-B, while recording a finding that the charges framed against the petitioner are proved, has ordered to restore the authorization of petitioner by imposing a fine of Rs.1000/-. In this writ petition, it is the grievance of the petitioner that inspite of the aforesaid order passed by the Revenue Divisional Officer becoming final and even after his paying the penalty amount of Rs.1000/-, the 3rd respondent is not supplying essential commodities on his authorization. Though the writ petition is of 2006, no counter affidavit is filed by the respondents. I have perused the copy of the order, dated 4th August 2006, passed by the 2nd respondent-Revenue Divisional Officer. A perusal of the said order shows that though there were charges against the petitioner alleging that he has violated the conditions of authorization while running the fair price shop, ultimately, after filing of explanation by him, the competent authority i.e. the Revenue Divisional Officer, Narsaraopet has passed the said order by imposing the penalty of Rs.1,000/- and ordered for restoration of authorization of petitioner. When the order dated 04.08.2006 has become final, there appears no reason or justification for not supplying the essential commodities on the authorization of petitioner. As much as it is stated that the said order has become final, in the absence of any counter affidavit controverting the allegation of petitioner, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition directing the respondents to supply essential commodities, provided the petitioner hold valid authorization as on today. Subject to the above direction, the writ petition is disposed of. No order as to costs. ______________________ R. SUBHASH REDDY, J 29th September 2011 ajr
