Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Civil Supplies, appearing on behalf of the respondents. 3 . The main grievance of the petitioner is that the 2nd respondent- Revenue Divisional Officer, Bandar, Krishna District, issued proceedings dated 27-04-2005, canceling the authorization of the petitioner’s dealer ship to the fair price shop. Aggrieved by the same, the petitioner filed an appeal before the 1st respondent-Joint Collector, Krishna, Machilipatnam. But the 1st respondent has not yet passed appropriate orders and kept pending the appeal filed by the petitioner. 4 . At this stage, appropriate decision has to be taken by the 1st respondent on the appeal itself filed by the petitioner. Hence, without going into the merits of the case, I dispose of the writ petition with certain direction. 5 . Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of, directing the 1st respondent-Joint Collector, Krishna, Machilipatnam, to take appropriate decision on the appeal, dated 10-05-2005, filed by the petitioner, within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. No costs. ___________________ May 17, 2005 Kvr To 1 The Joint Collector, Krishna, Machilipatnam. 2 The Revenue Divisional Officer, Bandar, Krishna District. 3 The Mandal Revenue Officer, Ghantasala (M) Krishna District. 4.
