THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE NOUSHAD ALI Writ Petition No.24489 of 2011 ORDER : The petitioner, who is a temporary fair price shop dealer, has filed this writ petition assailing the order of the 3rd Respondent-Revenue Divisional Officer in Ref : D/1362/2011, dated 17-08-2011 terminating the authorization on the basis of a report dated 05-08-2011 of the Tahsildar, Badvel. A perusal of the said order shows that the Tahsildar submitted a report allegedly on the basis of an enquiry conducted by him. The order, however, does not disclose that the said officer had inspected the shop, nor it discloses where the enquiry has been conducted. Prima facie, the order appears to have been passed on mere allegations. Aggrieved by the said order, the petitioner has preferred an appeal on 24-08-2011 along with a stay petition. The 2nd respondent, even though entertained the appeal, has not passed any orders on the stay application. Ordinarily, this Court would have directed the 2nd Respondent to dispose of the stay application. But in view of the fact that the impugned order does not inspire confidence and that it has been passed merely on the basis of the allegations, I am of the view that during the pendency of the appeal, there is no justification to prevent the petitioner from running the shop. For the aforesaid circumstances, this Writ Petition is disposed of directing the 2nd Respondent to dispose of the appeal filed by the petitioner against the order of the 3rd Respondent-Revenue Divisional Officer in Ref:D/1362/2011, dated 17-08-2011 and pass appropriate orders in accordance with law as early as possible preferably within a period of eight weeks from the date of the receipt of a copy of the order. Pending disposal of appeal, the order of the 3rd Respondent-Revenue Divisional Officer in Ref:D/1362/2011, dated 17-08-2011 shall stand suspended. No costs. _________________ NOUSHAD ALI, J. 07th September, 2011. Note : Issue C.C. in 2 days. B/O skmr
