IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD (Special Original Jurisdiction) TUESDAY, THE TWENTY NINETH DAY OF APRIL, TWO THOUSAND EIGHT ONLY PRESENT: THE HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.20441 of 2006 Between: Raja Mouli … Petitioner AND The Collector (CS), Karimnagar & another. … Respondents Counsel for the petitioner : Sri V. Venkat Mayur for Sri B. Vijaysen Reddy Counsel for the respondents: AGP for Civil Supplies This Court made the following: THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.20441 of 2006 ORDER:- This writ petition is filed for a writ of Mandamus to set aside proceedings dated 17.08.2006, whereby respondent No.2 suspended the petitioner’s fair price shop authorization, pending enquiry. Heard Sri V. Venkat Mayur representing Sri B.Vijaysen Reddy, learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Civil Supplies. While issuing show cause notice for cancellation of authorization on 17.08.2006, on the same day respondent No.2 suspended the petitioner’s fair price shop authorization. Questioning the said order, the petitioner filed the present writ petition. This Court, while admitting the writ petition, suspended the operation of order passed by respondent No.2. Inasmuch as the enquiry into the allegations made against the petitioner is pending before respondent No.2, I am not inclined to adjudicate the case on merits. Since the petitioner is being continued under the interim order passed by this Court on 28.09.2006, the writ petition is disposed of with a direction to respondent No.2 to complete the enquiry and pass final order after giving an opportunity of hearing to the petitioner. Till then, the petitioner shall be continued as fair price shop dealer of the shop in question. As a sequel to disposal of the writ petition, WPMP.No.25853 of 2006 and WVMP.No.407 of 2007 are disposed of as infructuous. ____________________________ C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J Date: 29.04.2008 ES
