And State of Andhra Pradesh rep. by its Principal Secretary to (Food, Civil Supplies and Consumer Affairs (CS-I) Department), Secretariat, Saifabad, Hyderabad, And others. .. Respondents. ORDER: It is the case of the petitioner that he is the authorized dealer for Fair Price Shop No.1 of Kopparam village, Santhamaguluru Mandal, Prakasam District, and his authorization is still in subsistence, but the respondents are not supplying essential commodities to the shop run by him for distribution of the same to the cardholders of his shop. Hence, this writ petition is filed. Today, when the matter is taken up for hearing, learned Government Pleader for Civil Supplies, on instructions, submits that the authorization of the petitioner has been suspended on certain allegations levelled against him and the proceedings under Section 6- A of the Essential Commodities Act are initiated against him, and therefore, the respondents are not supplying essential commodities to the Fair Price shop run by the petitioner. In view of the aforesaid stand taken by the learned Government Pleader, without going into the merits of the case, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition directing the respondents to finalise the proceedings under Section 6-A of the Act pending against the petitioner within a period of three weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. With the above direction, the writ petition is disposed of. No order as to costs. ______________ N.V.RAMANA,J 08.07.2010 v v
