THE HON’BLE Ms. JUSTICE G. ROHINI WRIT PETITION NO. 18249 of 2007 DATE: 28-08-2007 Between : Doddi Raja Jaggunaidu … Petitioner And The District Collector, Visakhapatnam District, Visakhapatnam and 3 others. … Respondents THE HON’BLE Ms. JUSTICE G. ROHINI WRIT PETITION NO. 18249 of 2007 ORDER: Petitioner was appointed as the dealer of the fair price shop No.309, Circle-II, Visakhapatnam. Challenging the said appointment, the fourth respondent herein preferred an appeal before the second respondent. The said appeal was allowed by order dated 25-07-2007 thereby canceling the appointment of the petitioner and directing to appoint the fourth respondent herein as dealer of the fair price shop in question. The petitioner states that the said order was served on him only on 21-08-2007 and immediately thereafter, he preferred a revision petition before the first respondent on 24-08-2007 along with an application for stay. It is stated that the first respondent has not considered his revision petition and no orders have been passed even on his application for stay, but meanwhile, the third respondent is taking steps to implement the order of the second respondent. Hence, this writ petition. As could be seen, the petitioner was appointed as dealer long back on 07-06-2006 and even during the pendency of the appeal before the second respondent, his appointment was not stayed. In the circumstances, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition with a direction to the first respondent to dispose of the application for stay filed by the petitioner in his revision petition following due process of law as expeditiously as possible preferably within a period of one week from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. Till such time, the impugned order dated 25-07- 2007 shall not be given effect to. No costs. _______________ G. ROHINI, J. Date:28-08-2007 Note: Issue operative portion by wire. B/o KLP
