THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA WRIT PETITION No.25566 of 2009 DATE:25.11.2009 Between: Bayya Sridhar ... Petitioner and The Revenue Divisional Officer, Karimnagar Division, Karimnagar, and others ... Respondents THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA WRIT PETITION No.25566 of 2009 ORDER: According to the petitioner, he is the dealer in respect of fair price shop No.1517 of Keshavapur village, Elkathurthy Mandal, Karimnagar District and has been distributing the essential commodities to the cardholders without any blemish. While so, on 08.09.2009 the 3rd respondent inspected his shop and seized the entire stock alleging that there is variation in the stock, and later, submitted a report to the 1st respondent. Pursuant thereto, the 1st respondent issued a show cause notice No.K/3693 dated 17.09.2009 calling upon him to show cause as to why his authorisation should not be suspended and submit explanation within seven days. On the even date, the 1st respondent also suspended his authorisation. Immediately thereafter, he submitted a detailed explanation on 03.10.2009 to the show cause notice issued by the 1st respondent seeking restoration of his authorisation, but so far no orders have been passed. The same is questioned in this writ petition. 2. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Civil Supplies. 3. When once a show cause notice was issued and the petitioner offered his detailed explanation to the same, the 1st respondent shall hold an enquiry into the allegations made against the petitioner and pass final orders, at the earliest, so that the petitoner is not kept in darkness. As it is about two months since 03.10.2009 on which date the petitioner offered his explanation, there is no justification on the part of the 1st respondent in not completing the enquiry. Therefore, this Court is of the view that the writ petition can be disposed of with a direction to the 1st respondent to complete the enquiry, at the earliest. 4. Accordingly, this writ petition is disposed of directing the 1st respondent to complete the enquiry within a period of four (4) weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. In the event of his failure to complete the enquiry within the stipulated time, the authorisation of the petitioner shall be restored and the essential commodities shall be supplied to his fair price shop so as to enable him to distribute the same to the cardholders, during pendency of the enquiry. There shall be no order as to costs. _____________________________ GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA, J 25th November, 2009 Note: Furnish C.C. by three days (b/o) cbs THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA WRIT PETITION No.25566 of 2009 (Disposed of) 25th November, 2009 Note: Furnish C.C. by three days (b/o) cbs
