By impugned order dated 10.03.2010 the first respondent suspended the authorization of the petitioner for the following irregularities in distribution of essential commodities: i) that the petitioner has distributed the quota of January 2010 (sugar and palm oil) in the month of February 2010, and ii) the petitioner distributed the quantity of sugar at his will and pleasure ignoring the scale prescribed by the Government. Though the impugned order is appealable under Clause 20 of the Andhra Pradesh State Public Distribution System (Control) Order, 2008, the present writ petition is filed. Learned Counsel for the petitioner invites the attention of this Court to the release order No.78572, dated 19.01.2010, and submits that when the stock itself was given on 31.01.2010 as the godown was burnt, the petitioner cannot be blamed for the delay in supply of essential commodities. This Court has perused the release order and it appears the petitioner is correct. However, it is not known as to what is the allegation against the petitioner in distribution of sugar. Therefore, it is in the interest of the petitioner to approach the Joint Collector and file an appeal who shall consider the point raised by the petitioner adverted to hereinabove. Liberty is given to the petitioner to file an appeal before the Joint Collector. As and when the appeal is filed, the Joint Collector shall immediately consider the same and pass appropriate interim orders, if asked for, and shall also dispose of the appeal within a period of four weeks from the date of presentation of the appeal. The Writ Petition with the above observations is accordingly dismissed. There shall be no order as to costs. ____________ (V.V.S.RAO, J) 22.03.2010 Note: Issue C.C in three days. B/o. vs
