HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE NOUSHAD ALI Writ Petition No.27151 of 2011 Date: 29-9-2011 Between B.Rahamthulla … Petitioner and The Joint Collector, Anantapur district, Anantapur and 2 others … Respondents HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE NOUSHAD ALI Writ Petition No.27151 of 2011 Order: Having regard to the short relief sought for in this writ petition to direct the 2nd respondent to dispose of the stay petition, this writ petition is being heard and disposed of, with the consent of both the parties, at the stage of admission. 2. The petitioner is the fair price shop dealer of shop No.4 of Gooty, Anantapur District. The Tahsildar, Gooty, the 3rd respondent herein, suspended the authorization by orders in Rc.No.377/CSDT/11, dated 16-9-2011, on the ground that a crime has been registered against the petitioner for the offences punishable under Sections 420 and 468 read with Section 34 of IPC. Challenging the said order, the petitioner has preferred an appeal on 19-9-2011 to the Revenue Divisional Officer, Anantapur, the 2nd respondent herein, along with a petition for stay. The grievance of the petitioner is that even though the appeal along with a stay petition has been filed on 16-9-2011, the 2nd respondent has not taken up the matter for consideration and that any further delay would prejudicially affect the interest of the petitioner. It is, therefore, submitted that the 2nd respondent be directed to dispose of the stay application within a time-frame. 3. In view of the short grievance presented in the writ petition and also at the hearing, this writ petition is disposed of directing the 2nd respondent to dispose of the stay petition filed against the order in Rc.No.377/CSDT/11, dated 16-9-2011, of the 3rd respondent herein, as expeditiously as possible preferably within a period of 3 (three) weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. No costs. ___________________ NOUSHAD ALI, J. 29th September, 2011. Note:- Issue C.C. in two days. (B/o) Ak HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE NOUSHAD ALI Writ Petition No.27151 of 2011 29th September, 2011. (Ak)
