Gopala 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.22195 of 2006 ORDER:- In this writ petition, the grievance of the petitioner is that respondent No.2 has not completed the enquiry within the period of three months stipulated by him by his order dated 04.03.2006. By the said order of respondent No.2, the petitioner, who is the fair price shop dealer of Kumdampall Village, was placed under suspension for a period of three months, pending re-enquiry into the allegations made against him. The said order was questioned in appeal before respondent No.1, who in turn disposed of the said appeal by observing that respondent No.2 has not given proper opportunity to the petitioner and has not held proper enquiry and remitted the case to respondent No.2 for fresh enquiry by giving opportunity to the petitioner. Respondent No.1, however, directed that in order to ensure smooth running of administration and to have an uninterrupted public distribution system, respondent No.2 shall make alternative arrangements. In the counter-affidavit filed by respondent No.2 it is inter alia stated that enquiry into the four charges framed against the petitioner was held on 21.06.2006 and that all the charges were found proved. At the hearing, the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Civil Supplies submitted that though the enquiry was completed, no formal order has been passed in view of the pendency of this writ petition. In the above facts of the case, the writ petition is disposed of with the direction to respondent No.2 to pass appropriate order in pursuance of the enquiry held into the irregularities alleged against the petitioner, within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. Since the petitioner is being continued under the interim orders of this Court, he shall be continued as fair price shop dealer of the fair price shop in question, till passing of appropriate order by respondent No.2. As a sequel to disposal of the writ petition, WPMP.No.28193 of 2006 and WVMP.No.1671 of 2007 are disposed of as infructuous. _____________________________ C.V. NAGARJUNA REDDY, J Date: 11.06.2009 ES
