IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD (Special Original Jurisdiction) TUESDAY, THE FIRST DAY OF APRIL, TWO THOUSAND EIGHT ONLY PRESENT: THE HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.7084 of 2008 Between: I. Sandhya Rani … Petitioner AND The Revenue Divisional Officer, Kurnool & another. … Respondents Counsel for the petitioner : Sri C. Prakash Reddy Counsel for the respondent : AGP for Civil Supplies This Court made the following: THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.7084 of 2008 ORDER:- This writ petition is filed for a writ of mandamus to declare the action of respondent No.1 in not completing the enquiry in pursuance of show cause notice dated 04.10.2007, as illegal and arbitrary. The petitioner also sought for a consequential direction to respondent No.1 to complete the enquiry forthwith and pass orders therein. The petitioner is a fair price shop dealer of shop No.11 of Nandikotkur Village functioning on temporary basis since the year 2004. On a complaint given by certain third parties, a show cause notice was issued on 04.10.2007 by respondent No.1 by framing the charges. Respondent No.1 also issued proceedings dated 06.10.2007, whereby the petitioner’s fair price shop dealership was suspended. The petitioner claimed that she gave her explanation in the first week of October, 2007 itself. Her grievance is that despite long lapse of time, after issue of the show cause notice and filing of explanation by her, respondent No.1 has not been completing the enquiry and passing a final order. Having heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Civil Supplies, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition with a direction to respondent No.1 to complete the enquiry by giving the petitioner an opportunity of hearing and pass orders on completion of enquiry, within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. Ordered accordingly. As a sequel to disposal of the writ petition, WPMP.No.9289 of 2008 filed by the petitioner for interim relief is disposed of as infructuous. ____________________________ C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J Date: 01.04.2008 ES
