His grievance is that even while the authorization is in force, the respondents are not supplying the essential commodities. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Civil Supplies. On 09.11.2004, while issuing notice before admission, this Court directed the respondents to release and supply the essential commodities to the petitioner, if he holds a valid authorization and the same is subsisting as on that date. Nothing is placed before this Court to disclose that the authorization of the petitioner has been suspended or cancelled. If the authorization is in force, there does not exist any justification for withholding the supplies. Hence, the writ petition is disposed of directing that the respondents shall release and supply the essential commodities to the petitioner, as usual, as long as his authorization is neither suspended nor cancelled. There shall be no order as to costs. ___________________ L.NARASIMHA REDDY, J Dated : 29th November, 2004 Ts To 1 The Revenue Divisional Officer, Adoni, Kurnool District 2 The Mandal Revenue Officer, Yemmiganur, Kurnool District. 3 2 CCS to the G.P. for Civil Supplies, High Court of A.P., Hyderabad (OUT). 4 2CD copies
