HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE GODA RAGHURAM WRIT PETITION No. 6660 of 2007 DATED: 3-04-2007 Between: Smt K.Nagarathnama …Petitioner and The Joint Collector, Chittoor, Chittoor District and others …Respondents. HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE GODA RAGHURAM W.P.No. 6660 of 2007 ORAL ORDER: By the order of the 2nd respondent dated 15-3-2007, the petitioner’s authorization as the Fair Price Shop Dealer of Puttavandlapalli Village, Y.V.Palem, Chittoor District was suspended pending enquiry in exercise of the power available under clause 3 (4) of the Andhra Pradesh State Public Distribution System Control Order, 2001 on the basis of the allegations set out in the order. As against this order, the petitioner preferred an appeal to the 1st respondent on 21-3-2007. The learned counsel for the petitioner states that the 1st respondent has been adjourning the hearing of the appeal on the ground that records have not yet been received from the 2nd respondent. No date has been given for the next adjournment of the appeal. Though the petitioner assails the order of the 2nd respondent dated 15-3-2007 placing his authorization under suspension pending enquiry, as the petitioner has preferred an appeal to the 1st respondent, this Court is not inclined to adjudicate upon the merits of the impugned order. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of at the stage of admission, after hearing the learned Government Pleader for Civil Supplies also, directing the 1st respondent to expeditiously and preferably within a period of 60 days from the date of receipt of a copy of this order, consider and dispose of the substantive appeal or the application filed by the petitioner for interim relief. There shall be no order as to costs. _______________________ GODA RAGHURAM, J 3-04-2007 GRR
