THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE NOUSHAD ALI WRIT PETITION No.26748 of 2011 Date: 23.09.2011 Between: B. Vidyavathi … Petitioner and The Joint Collector, Kadapa, Kadapa District and others. … Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE NOUSHAD ALI WRIT PETITION No.26748 of 2011 ORDER : Heard Sri M.D. Saleem, learned counsel appearing for the petitioner, as well as the learned Government Pleader for Civil Supplies appearing for the respondents, and with their consent the writ petition is being disposed of at the admission stage. 2. The petitioner is a Fair Price Shop dealer of Seetharamapuram Village, Chapadu Mandal, Kadapa District. The 2nd respondent-Revenue Divisional Officer, Jammalamadugu, Kadapa District, suspended her authorisation by proceedings No.Ref.B/1857/2011, dated 29.8.2011, pending enquiry on the ground that the petitioner is not residing in Seetharamapuram Village, where the shop is located and that she is distributing the commodities through her relatives unauthorisedly. Aggrieved by the same, the petitioner filed an appeal before the 1st respondent- Joint Collector, Kadapa District, along with a petition seeking stay. As no orders are passed on the said appeal, the petitioner has filed the present writ petition. 3. Admittedly, the petitioner has approached the 1st respondent by invoking the statutory remedy of appeal against the impugned order. Therefore, she cannot pursue a parallel remedy challenging the very same order by way of filing the present writ petition. Since the petitioner has already availed the statutory remedy of appeal before the 1st respondent, she is always at liberty to urge all the contentions in the said appeal and defend her case. 4. Indisputably, an appeal along with the stay application has been filed on 12.9.2011 and the 1st respondent, being the appellate authority, is expected to consider the said appeal and pass appropriate orders within a reasonable time in order to avoid hardship to the petitioner. 5. In the circumstances, this writ petition is disposed of directing the 1st respondent to consider the appeal filed by the petitioner against the impugned order dated 29.8.2011 passed by the 2nd respondent and pass appropriate orders in accordance with law as expeditiously as possible, preferably within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. No order as to costs. ________________________ JUSTICE NOUSHAD ALI 23.09.2011. Msr THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE NOUSHAD ALI WRIT PETITION No.26748 of 2011 23.09.2011 (Msr)
