THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.24690 of 2010 Dated 04th October, 2010 Between: Smt. P. Jagadamba …Petitioner And The State of A.P. represented by the District Collector, Vizianagaram District and others. …Respondents Counsel for the petitioner: Mr. D. Linga Rao Counsel for respondents: Assistant Government Pleader for Civil Supplies The Court made the following: ORDER: This writ petition is filed for a Mandamus to set aside the order dated 21.09.2010 of respondent No.3, whereby the petitioner’s fair price shop dealership was suspended pending enquiry. At the hearing Sri D. Linga Rao, the learned counsel for the petitioner, while conceding that the petitioner has already availed the remedy of appeal before respondent No.1, however, submitted that the appellate authority ought to have exercised its power conferred by Clause 20 of the Andhra Pradesh State Public Distribution System (Control) Order, 2008. It is not the pleaded case of the petitioner that the appellate authority has so far rejected the stay application. The petitioner is, therefore, entitled to pursue the application for stay which is stated to be pending before the appellate authority. In this view of the matter, the Writ Petition is disposed of with the direction to respondent No.1 to dispose of the stay application within a period of two weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order in accordance with law. As a sequel to disposal of the writ petition, W.P.M.P.No.31597 of 2010 filed by the petitioner for interim relief is disposed of as infructuous. ________________________ C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J 04th October, 2010 GHN
