IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD (Special Original Jurisdiction) THURSDAY, THE TWENTY SEVENTH DAY OF AUGUST TWO THOUSAND AND NINE PRESENT THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA WRIT PETITION NO : 17952 of 2009 Between: V.Jayaramaiah ..... PETITIONER AND The Joint Collector (Civil Supplies), Kadapa and others. ....RESPONDENTS THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA WRIT PETITION NO.17952 OF 2009 ORDER : This writ petition is filed under Article 226 of the Constitution of India seeking a writ of Mandamus to declare the action of the 2nd respondent in passing the order in reference No.B/541/2009, dated 26.06.2009 as arbitrary and illegal and consequently permit the petitioner to run Fair Price shop No.24 of Venkupalli Village, Duvvuru Mandal, Kadapa District. 2) The brief facts are that the authorization of the petitioner was kept under suspension by the Revenue Divisional Officer, 2nd respondent, on 26.06.2009. Questioning the said order of suspension, the petitioner approached the appellate authority and filed an appeal and also a petition seeking suspension of the said order. However, as no orders were passed, he approached this Court and filed Writ Petition No.14278 of 2009. This Honourable Court was pleased to direct the Joint Collector, i.e., the appellate authority to dispose of the said appeal within a period of four weeks and the suspension petition within a period of one week. The said order was passed on 17.07.2009 and on the very same day i.e., on 17.07.2009 the Joint Collector while disposing of the appeal, directed the Revenue Divisional Officer to complete the enquiry within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of the order. Despite the said direction, as the Revenue Divisional Officer has not conducted any enquiry, the petitioner approached this Court and filed the present writ petition. 3) Having considered the submission, it appears that the Revenue Divisional Officer had not conducted the enquiry as directed by the Joint Collector. Since the authorization of the dealership of the petitioner is under suspension for the last two months, the Revenue Divisional Officer is hereby directed to complete the said enquiry at the earliest preferably within a period of three(3) weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. Failing which, the authorization of dealership of the petitioner shall be restored and the petitioner shall be permitted to continue as fair price shop dealer. 4) Accordingly, this writ petition is disposed of at the stage of admission. There shall be no order as to costs. __________________________ (GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA, J) August 27, 2009 KSH
