I have heard the learned counsel for the parties. The grievance of the petitioner is that though his authorization is valid and has not been varied in any manner till today, respondents have not been supplying the essential commodities. At the hearing, it has come out that after filing of the writ petition, a show- cause notice was issued to the petitioner alleging certain irregularities in running the fair price shop. The learned Assistant Government Pleader for Civil Supplies is unable to state whether any further step has been taken. So long as the petitioner’s authorization has not been suspended or cancelled, he is entitled to distribute the essential commodities. Accordingly, respondent Nos.3 and 4 are directed to continue the petitioner as fair price shop dealer and allot the essential commodities to him so long as his authorization continues to subsist. Subject to the above direction, the writ petition is disposed of. As a sequel to disposal of the writ petition, W.P.M.P.No.39540 of 2010 filed by the petitioner for interim relief is disposed of as infructuous. (C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J) Date: 30.12.2010 VGB
