HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE R. SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No.19812 of 2010 Date : 23.08.2010 Between : Kommuri Chenchamma. …..Petitioner And The Joint Collector (C.S.Wing), Prakasam District & others. …..Respondents HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE R. SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No.19812 of 2010 ORDER : The petitioner is a fair price shop dealer for shop No.3 of Martur town and Mandal of Prakasam District. The authorization granted to her is governed by the provisions of A.P. Public Distribution System (Control) Order, 2008, framed under the provisions of the Essential Commodities Act, 1955. By conducting inquiry on the ground that the petitioner has committed certain irregularities, the Revenue Divisional Officer, Ongole, by his order, dated 04.03.2010, issued in Rc.G/1601/2009, cancelled the authorization of the petitioner. As against the same, the petitioner preferred an appeal before the 1st respondent-Joint Collector on 21.03.2010, and the same is pending consideration. It is the grievance of the petitioner that the primary authority has not at all considered the explanation filed by her and passed orders in a routine manner, cancelling her authorization. On instructions, it is submitted by the learned Government Pleader appearing for respondents, that in view of the order of cancellation passed against the petitioner, incharge arrangements are made and the same are being continued from the date of cancellation of petitioner’s authorization. Although it is contended by the learned counsel for petitioner that the primary authority has not considered her explanation, but in view of the pendency of appeal preferred by the petitioner before the 1st respondent-Joint Collector on 21.03.2010, it is not desirable for this Court to record any findings on merits of the matter. As much as the authorization of petitioner was cancelled as early as on 21.03.2010, and as it is stated that the incharge arrangements are already made for distribution of essential commodities, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition, directing the 1st respondent-appellate authority to dispose of the appeal preferred by the petitioner within a period of six weeks from today. Subject to the above directions, the writ petition is disposed of. No order as to costs. ______________________ R. SUBHASH REDDY, J 23rd August 2010 N.B: Furnish C.C. in three days. (b/o) ajr
