This writ petition is filed aggrieved by the proceedings issued by the Revenue Divisional Officer, Narsaraopet Division, Narsaraopet, Guntur District, the respondent herein, dated 08-07-2004 suspending the authorization of the petitioner pending enquiry into certain allegations. Though several grounds have been raised by the petitioner assailing the correctness of the said order, I am not inclined to express any opinion regarding the merits of the case since admittedly an efficacious alternative remedy is available to the petitioner by way of appeal before the Joint Collector. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is disposed of granting liberty to the petitioner to file an appeal against the impugned order dated 08-07-2004, in which event the same shall be considered in accordance with law, and appropriate orders shall be passed. Further, since the petitioner expressed an apprehension that in the interregnum the respondent is likely to make fresh appointment in respect of the shop in question, it is made clear that till the enquiry initiated against the petitioner is concluded, no permanent appointment shall be made in respect of the F.P. Shop at Kunkalagunta village. The Writ Petition is accordingly disposed of. No order as to costs. ________________ 30th July, 2004. Note:- CC by tomorrow. (B/O) Vrn To 1.
