THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.RAMULU WRIT PETITION NO.23869 OF 2006 DATE: 20th November 2006 Between: A.S.Sailaja, d/o A.Siddappa, Aged 25 years, F.P.Shop Dealer, F.P.Shop No.1, r/o Amarapuram Village and mandal, Anantapur District. …Petitioner And 1. The Joint Collector, Ananthapur, Ananthapur District and 2 others. …Respondents. * * * ORDER: This writ petition is filed being aggrieved by the proceedings of the second respondent in D.Dis.No.1162/06/C, dated 23.10.2006. 2. Under the impugned proceedings, the authorization held by the petitioner against fair price shop No.I of Amarapuram village and mandal, Penugonda Division, Anantapur District, was cancelled. In fact, aggrieved by the same, the petitioner has already filed statutory appeal before the first respondent and the same is pending. 3. During pendency of that appeal, the present writ petition is filed complaining as to violation of principles of natural justice. I am of the opinion that once statutory appeal has been filed and the same is taken up on file by the first respondent, question of interfering with the impugned order does not arise. 4. In view of the above, without expressing any opinion on merits, the Appellate Authority (Joint Collector, Ananthapur District) is directed to dispose of the stay petition purported to have been filed along with appeal by the petitioner being aggrieved by the impugned order within a period of two weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. 5. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of. No costs. _________________ C.V.RAMULU, J. Date: 20th November 2006. BSB
