The Hon'ble Sri Justice C.V.Nagarjuna Reddy Writ Petition No.33740 of 2011 Date: 21-12-2011 Between: A.Raghuram Reddy ..... Petitioner AND 1.Government of Andhra Pradesh, Rep. by its Principal Secretary, Revenue (Excise) Department, Secretariat Buildings, A.P., Hyderabad and 5 others. .....Respondents Counsel for the Petitioner: Mr.P.Rambhoopal Reddy Counsel for Respondent Nos.1 to 4 & 6: AGP for Prohibition & Excise The Court made the following : Order: This Writ Petition is filed for a Mandamus to set aside order in CR.No.9354/2001/CPE/T1, dated 02-11-2011, of respondent No.2, whereby he has directed respondent No.4 to conduct re-auction of A4 shop, in respect of which the petitioner’s license was cancelled, with the further direction to take necessary action to run the shop by A.P.Beverages Corporation Limited till such re-auction is conducted. The grievance of the petitioner is that, against the order of respondent No.3, who dismissed the appeal filed against order of respondent No.4 canceling the petitioner’s A4 license, the latter has filed a statutory appeal before respondent No.2 under Section 63 of the A.P.Excise Act, 1963, and that the direction to re-auction the shop pending the appeal causes serious injury to the petitioner’s interests. After hearing Sri P.Rambhoopal Reddy, learned Counsel for the petitioner, and the learned Government Pleader for Prohibition and Excise, representing respondent Nos.1, to 4 and 6, I am of the opinion that, as the petitioner has a right of further appeal under Section 63 of the Act, which he has indeed availed, auctioning of shop, before disposal of the appeal, would cause irreversible damage to the petitioner’s interests. In this view of the matter, the proposed auction of A4 shop (shop No.1 of Simhadripuram) shall not be held till disposal of the petitioner’s appeal by respondent No.2. Respondent No.2 is directed to dispose of the appeal within a period of one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. Subject to the above direction, the Writ Petition is disposed of. As a sequel, WPMP.No.41946 of 2011, filed by the petitioner for interim relief, is disposed of as infructuous. ______________________ (C.V.Nagarjuna Reddy, J) 21st December, 2011 Note: CC in three days.
