THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R.SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No.18655 of 2006 ORDER: Petitioner is having license to deal in petroleum products and she entered an agreement with the third respondent - Indian Oil Corporation Limited, Visakhapatnam, represented by its Manager, for supply of petrol and diesel in order to sell them at her retail outlet. It is stated that in view of registration of a case against her in 2006, the supplies were stopped as such she approached this Court. By way of interim order, dated 08.09.2006, this Court issued directions to the respondents for supply of petrol, diesel and oils as usual to the petitioner’s outlet provided she is holding valid license and left open for the respondents to conduct appropriate enquiry into the matter. When the matter is taken up today, it is submitted by the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Civil Supplies appearing for respondents 1 and 2 as well as the learned Standing Counsel appearing for the third respondent that though the supplies were stopped on account of registration of the case under Section 6-A of the Essential Commodities Act, 1955 (for short ‘the Act’), the charges framed against the petitioner were dropped and the said case was closed vide proceedings, dated 28.03.2007 issued in Ref.V10/CS/337/2006, by the second respondent – Joint Collector and Additional District Magistrate, East Godavari, Kakinada. As it is submitted by the learned counsel that the charges framed against the petitioner were already dropped and the case registered under Section 6-A of the Act was closed by the second respondent vide proceedings, dated 28.03.2007, I deem it appropriate to direct respondents 1 to 3 to continue the supplies to the petitioner in terms of the agreement entered by her with the third respondent, if she is having valid license. Subject to the above directions, the Writ Petition is disposed of. No order as to costs. _______________________ R.SUBHASH REDDY, J 29th SEPTEMBER, 2011. kvni
