On the basis of a complaint an enquiry report has been submitted by the District Supply Officer contained in Annexure-6. Having heard learned counsel for the parties, we are only inclined to direct that the Collector shall peruse the report given by the District Supply Officer and thereafter take appropriate steps as advised in law in quite promptitude, preferably, within a period of three months. We may hasten to clarify we have not expressed anything on the merits of the case. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of. Pawan/- (Dipak Misra, CJ) (Mihir Kumar Jha, J)
