THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.RAMULU W.P.No.23123 of 2006 Dated:08.11.2006 Between D.Rajamma …..Petitioner and 1.The Revenue Divisional Officer,Penukonda Division, Penukonda, Anantapur District and another …Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.RAMULU W.P.No.23123 of 2006 ORDER This writ petition is filed seeking a writ of Certiorari to call for the records relating to the impugned proceedings in Rc.No.1559/06/C, dated 27.10.2006 issued by the 2nd respondent, whereunder, authorization of the petitioner for the fair price shop of Korthikota Village, Tanakallu Mandal, Anantapur District was suspended during pendency of detailed enquiry to be conducted into the irregularities. The impugned order is suspension-cum-show cause notice. As many as 10 charges were framed against the petitioner. Prima facie, I am of the opinion that the charges are specific and therefore, no interference can be made at this stage as to the suspension order passed by the authorities. Suspension is not a punishment. It is only to enable the authorities to conduct fair enquiry into the matter. No extraordinary grounds are made out for interfering with the impugned proceedings. Therefore, the writ petiton is liable to be dismissed. Accordingly, the writ petiton is dismissed. However, this will not preclude the petitioner from approaching the appellate authority. The petitioner has not submitted any explanation to the show cause notice as of now and hence, he is at liberty to file an explanation, within a period of one week, from today. On submitting such an explanation, the respondents shall consider the same. No costs. ________ 8-11-2006 Note: Issue CC by two days. (B.O) rkk
