Though certain stocks were seized and a case was registered and by memo dated 28.9.2004 the cards of the petitioner’s shop were tagged on to another shop. After filing the writ petition, the petitioner files an additional affidavit stating that the authorization of the petitioner was suspended by the first respondent vide proceedings dated 30.9.2004 pending enquiry. The learned Government Pleader for Civil Supplies relies on the judgment of the Division Bench of this Court in R.Sankar Naik v. R.Chowla Naik wherein it has been held that suspension of authorization pending enquiry cannot be interfered with. Admittedly, there is suspension of authorization of the Fair Price shop of the petitioner on certain allegations. The respondents are entitled to suspend the authorization. In view of the same, the writ petition is, accordingly, dismissed. No order as to costs. __________________ (V.ESWARAIAH, J.) 21.4.2005 kpr To 1 The Revenue Divisional Officer, Chevella Division, R.R. District. at Attapur Village, Rajendranagar Mandal, R.R.
