Nagesh … Petitioner And The Collector (CS), Sangareddy, Medak District & others. … Respondents Counsel for the petitioner : Ms. Satyavathi for Sri K. Raji Reddy Counsel for the respondents: AGP for Civil Supplies This Court made the following: THE HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.8704 of 2008 ORDER:- In this writ petition, the petitioner questioned order dated 1104.2008 passed by respondent No.2, whereby he cancelled the petitioner’s fair price shop dealership in respect of the Paidigummal Village, Kohir Mandal, Medak District. In his affidavit, the petitioner categorically averred that no notice was issued to him before canceling his authorization. While a perusal of the impugned order does not show that any such notice was given, even in the counter-affidavit filed by respondent No.2, he neither denied the petitioner’s averment that prior notice was not given nor he asserted that any such notice was given. As no notice was evidently issued before passing of the impugned order, the writ petition is allowed and the impugned order is quashed. Liberty is given to respondent No.2 to initiate fresh proceedings in accordance with law. As a sequel to disposal of the writ petition in the manner indicated above, WPMP.Nos.11540 and 11541 of 2008 are disposed of as infructuous. _____________________________ C.V.
