HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE NOUSHAD ALI Writ Petition No.32615 of 2011 Date: 13-12-2011 Between P.Baliram … Petitioner and The District Collector (Civil Supplies), Adilabad district, Adilabad and 4 others … Respondents HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE NOUSHAD ALI Writ Petition No.32615 of 2011 Order: In view of the short relief sought for at the hearing to direct the District Collector (Civil Supplies), Adilabad district, to dispose of the revision petition filed by the petitioner within a time-frame, this writ petition is being disposed, at the stage of admission, with the consent of Sri S.Chandra Sekhar, learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Civil Supplies appearing for the respondents 1 to 3. 2. In pursuance of a notification calling for applications from the intending candidates for appointment of a dealer in respect of Fair Price Shop situated at Mannur village of Gudihatnoor Mandal, Adilabad district, the petitioner and the respondents 4 and 5 submitted their applications. On a consideration of the said applications, the Revenue Divisional Officer, Adilabad, the 3rd respondent herein, appointed the petitioner herein as the dealer vide orders in Proc.No.K/1711/2011, dated 26-4-2011. Feeling aggrieved by the said order, the respondents 4 and 5 filed an appeal before the Joint Collector (Civil Supplies), Adilabad, the 2nd respondent herein, who, by his orders dated 05-11-2011, set aside the aforesaid order with a direction to the Revenue Divisional Officer to call for fresh applications again for appointing a suitable candidate. The petitioner preferred a revision petition against the said order on 26-11- 2011 before the 1st respondent along with a stay petition. The grievance of the petitioner in this writ petition is that even though considerable time has elapsed since filing of the revision petition, the 1st respondent has not considered the same and that if the revision petition is not disposed of, the 3rd respondent is likely to make fresh appointment causing hardship to the petitioner. The learned counsel for the petitioner, therefore, submits that the 1st respondent be directed to dispose of the revision petition within a time-frame and in the meanwhile, direct the 3rd respondent not to make fresh appointment. 3. The learned Assistant Government Pleader has no objection for granting such directions. 4. Indisputably, the petitioner has filed the revision petition on 26- 11-2011 and in matters of this nature, the statutory authorities are expected to consider the matters expeditiously. In the instant case, not only the appointment of the petitioner has been set aside, but a further direction has been given to make fresh appointment. In this view of the matter, the 1st respondent ought to have considered the revision petition by passing appropriate orders. 5. In the aforesaid circumstances, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition directing the 1st respondent-District Collector (Civil Supplies), Adilabad, to consider the revision petition filed by the petitioner against the orders of the 2nd respondent in Appeal No.CS6/279/2011, dated 05-11-2011 and pass appropriate orders in accordance with law after due notice to the respondents 4 and 5, as expeditiously as possible, preferably within a period of 6 (six) weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. Till the order is passed, the 2nd respondent shall not make any fresh appointment. 6. In view of disposal of the writ petition, W.P.M.P.No.40544 2011 is dismissed as unnecessary. No costs. ___________________ NOUSHAD ALI, J. 13th December, 2011. Note:- Issue C.C. in two days. (B/o) Ak HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE NOUSHAD ALI Writ Petition No.32615 of 2011 13th December, 2011. (Ak)
