Public Distribution System Control Order, 2001 along with stay application. While the same is pending, petitioner filed W.P.No. 10941 of 2005 and the learned single Judge of this Court by order dated 3.5.2005 dismissed the said writ petition on the ground that the petitioner cannot be permitted to prosecute two parallel proceedings. Aggrieved by the said order, the present writ appeal is filed. Heard the learned counsel for appellant and the learned Government Pleader appearing for respondents. The learned counsel for appellant submits that no reasonable opportunity was given to the appellant while passing the impugned cancellation order and there was no evidence to show that the appellant has committed misappropriation in distributing the essential commodities and regarding the said transaction, appeal is pending before the Joint Collector. We are not inclined to accept the said contention of the appellant. In the circumstances, we do not find any merit in the appeal and it is accordingly dismissed. No costs. However, the first respondent-Joint Collector is directed to consider and dispose of the appeal preferred by the appellant within a period of one week from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. _________________ V.ESWARAIAH,J _______________ K.C.
