HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R. SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No.18168 of 2010 Dated: 28-07-2010 Between: Smt. A.Reddemma. … Petitioner And The State of Andhra Pradesh, rep. by its Collector, Chittoor & others. … Respondents HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R. SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No.18168 of 2010 ORDER: In this writ petition, the petitioner seeks directions by way of Mandamus, declaring the proceedings, dated 31st of May 2010, issued by the 2nd respondent-Joint Collector in Dis.No.C1/130/10, confirming the orders, dated 09.02.2010, passed by the 3rd respondent-Revenue Divisional Officer in Dis.No.A3/2708/2009, as illegal and arbitrary, and seeks to set aside the same. The petitioner is an authorised fair price shop dealer for Shop No.51 of Madanapalle Urban of Madanapalle Mandal of Chittoor District. The grant of such authorisation is governed by the provisions of the A.P. Public Distribution System (Control) Order, 2008, framed under Section 15 of the Essential Commodities Act. On the ground that she committed certain irregularities in distribution of scheduled commodities, the authorisation of petitioner is cancelled after giving opportunity of hearing, by the 3rd respondent-Revenue Divisional Officer, by an order, dated 9th February 2010, passed in Proceedings Dis.No.A3/2708/2009. As against the said order, petitioner has filed an appeal before the 2nd respondent- Joint Collector, and the 2nd respondent, by an order, dated 31st of May 2010, passed in Proceedings Dis.No.C1/130/10, dismissed the appeal, confirming the orders of the 3rd respondent. Further, as provided under the Control Order, the petitioner has also filed revision before the District Collector on 01.07.2010 and the same is pending consideration. In this writ petition, it is the grievance of the petitioner that the allegations basing on which her authorisation was cancelled, are incorrect and there is no basis for such allegations. It is further submitted that even the appellate authority has not considered the appeal in proper perspective. Even according to the petitioner, against the orders of Joint Collector, there is a revision provided to the District Collector, which has already been preferred by the petitioner on 1st of July 2010 and the same is pending consideration. In view of pendency of revision filed by the petitioner before the competent revisional authority, it is not desirable for this Court to give a finding on the validity of the order cancelling the authorisation of petitioner. In that view of the matter, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition directing the 1st respondent- revisional Authority to dispose of the revision filed by the petitioner as expeditiously as possible, preferably within a period of two months from today. It is further directed that till the revision petition is disposed of, respondents shall not make any permanent arrangements with regard to Shop No.51 of Madanapalle Urban in Chittoor District. However, it is open for the respondents to continue the temporary arrangements, which are already made for distribution of scheduled commodities, till appropriate final orders are passed by the revisional authority. Subject to the above directions, the writ petition is disposed of. No order as to costs. ______________________ R. SUBHASH REDDY, J 28th July 2010 Note: Furnish C.C. in three days. (b/o) ajr
