Petitioner and The Revenue Divisional Officer, Jagtial Division, Karimnagar District and another ... Respondents THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA WRIT PETITION No.18331 of 2009 ORDER: This writ petition is filed by the petitioner seeking a Writ of Mandamus to declare the action of 2nd respondent in seizing the stocks available in her fair price shop No.2108 situated at Nerella village, Dharmapuri Mandal, and suspending her authorisation in respect of the said shop, as illegal and arbitrary, and consequently, to direct the respondents to supply the essential commodities to the said shop. 2. Briefly, the case of the petitioner is that she is a dealer of fair price shop No.2108 of Nerella vilage, Dharmapuri Mandal. On 11.08.2009, the 2nd respondent inspected her shop and seized the available stock therein alleging that there is a variation in the stock. Later, he sent a report dated 12.08.2009 to the 1st respondent. In pursuance of the said report, the 1st respondent issued a show cause notice to her by proceedings No.G/1265/2009, dated 13.08.2009, to show cause as to why her authorisation should not be cancelled and submit her explanation within seven days from the date of receipt of the said notice. On the even date, he also suspended her authorisation temporarily. Subsequently, she has submitted a detailed explanation narrating all the facts to the 1st respondent on 24.08.2009, but the 1st respondent has not passed any order so far considering her explanation. Aggrieved by the same, she filed the present writ petition. 3. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Civil Supplies. 4. The learned counsel for the petitioner has contended that though the petitioner narrated all the facts to the 2nd respondent, without looking into the same, he simply seized the stocks available in the shop. He further contended that issuance of show cause notice and suspension of authorisation of the petitioner on the even date without giving any opportunity to her, are nothing but arbitrary. 5. Having considered the submissions made by the learned counsel on either side and in view of the fact that the 1st respondent is ceased of the matter and he is holding an enquiry into the allegations made against the petitioner, this court is of the view that this writ petition can be disposed of with a direction to the 1st respondent to complete the enquiry, at the earliest. 6. Accordingly, this writ petition is disposed of directing the 1st respondent to complete the enquiry within a period of three weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order and pass necessary orders. If for any reason, no order is passed within the stipulated time, the authorisation of the petitioner shall be restored. There shall be no as to costs. _________________________ GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA, J 2nd September, 2009 Note: Furnish CC by three days.
