THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE R.SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No. 3809 OF 2010 Dated: 19-02-2010 Between: Sri K. Kiran Kumar ... PETITIONER AND The Revenue Divisional Officer, Penukonda, Ananthapur District and another ... RESPONDENTS THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE R.SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No. 3809 OF 2010 ORDER: Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Civil Supplies appearing for the respondents. This writ petition is filed questioning order dated 08-02-2010 in Rc.No.25/2010/CS passed by the Tahsildar, Mudigubba, Ananthapur District, the 2nd respondent herein suspending the authorisation of the petitioner. The petitioner was appointed as a Fair Price Shop Dealer on temporary basis. It appears that the Mandal Revenue Inspector has inspected the fair price shop of the petitioner and noticed certain irregularities viz., that he has not maintained the stock registers, not remitted the demand drafts for dhal and wheat for the last three months and caused much inconvenience to the cardholders, not obtained the seal from the Weights and Measures Department, not exhibited the stock cum price list board and that there are some variations in the stocks when they were verified with reference to the books. The learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted that the variations are minimal, as such, the respondents ought not to have passed the impugned order of suspension. A perusal of the impugned order passed by the 2nd respondent indicates that there is not only an allegation with regard to variations in the stocks, but there are certain other allegations which are required to be enquired into by the competent authority. As much as the impugned order is only an order of suspension pending enquiry, I do not find any illegality to interfere with the same. In the above circumstances, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition directing the respondents to complete the enquiry within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. Till the enquiry is completed and appropriate orders are passed, the respondents are directed not to make any permanent arrangement in the place of the petitioner. However, it is made clear that to avoid inconvenience to the cardholders, it is open to the respondents to make temporary arrangements. Subject to the above direction, the writ petition is disposed of. No order as to costs. R. SUBHASH REDDY, J 19-02-2010 ks
