IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD (Special Original Jurisdiction) PRESENT: THE HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WEDNESDAY, THE SEVENTEENTH DAY OF JUNE, TWO THOUSAND NINE ONLY WRIT PETITION No.19743 of 2006 Between: Smt. P. Suseela … Petitioner And The District Collector, Krishna at Machilipatnam & others. … Respondents Counsel for the petitioner : Sri G. Narasimha Rao Counsel for the respondents: AGP for Civil Supplies This Court made the following: THE HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.19743 of 2006 ORDER:- Order dated 15.08.2006 passed by respondent No.2, whereby the petitioner’s dealership licence was suspended under Clause 28 of the Andhra Pradesh Petroleum Products (Licensing and Regulation of Suppliers) Order, 1980 (for short, ‘the 1980 Order’) is assailed in this writ petition. A perusal of the proceeding sheet shows that this Court, by order dated 25.09.2006, suspended the operation of the said order. At the hearing, Sri G. Narasimha Rao, learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the enquiry is still pending. Since the impugned order is interim in nature and the interim order granted by this Court is in force for more than 2½ years, it is not necessary to adjudicate the writ petition on merits at this stage. The writ petition is therefore disposed of without going into the merits of the case and reserving liberty with the petitioner to canvass the issues raised in this writ petition at appropriate time in future in case such necessity arises. Respondent No.2 is directed to hold enquiry and pass appropriate order, if not already done, within a period of eight weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. Till then, the petitioner shall be continued as dealer. As a sequel to disposal of the writ petition, WPMP.No.24924 of 2006 and WVMP.No.936 of 2008 are disposed of as infructuous. _____________________________ C.V. NAGARJUNA REDDY, J Date: 17.06.2009 ES
