THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE NOUSHAD ALI Writ Petition No.29219 of 2011 Date : 01-11-2011 Between : Chekka Srirama Murthy .. Petitioner And The Revenue Divisional Officer, Peddapuram, East Godavari District & 2 Others .. Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE NOUSHAD ALI Writ Petition No.29219 of 2011 ORDER : Heard Sri V.V.N.Narayana Rao, learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Government Pleader for Civil Supplies appearing for respondents. Even though the petitioner has challenged the seizure of essential commodities from his fair price shop vide panchanama dated 23-10-2011, the learned counsel for the petitioner at the hearing submits that insofar as the said relief is concerned the petitioner would take appropriate defence in the proceedings before the appropriate authority. The only grievance thus presented at the hearing is that even though the authorization of the petitioner is in force, he is not being supplied with the essential commodities. He, therefore, seeks that appropriate direction be issued to respondents 2 and 3 in that regard. The brief facts are that the petitioner is a fair price shop dealer of shop No.12 of Mulagapudi Village, Rowtulapudi Mandal, East Godavari District. The respondents 2 and 3 inspected the shop on 23-10-2011 and found variation of the stock of kerosene and consequently seized the entire stock available in the shop. The petitioner states that so far no action has been taken in furtherance of the seizure. However, the respondents 2 and 3 have stopped supplies to petitioner’s shop. The petitioner has therefore approached this Court for appropriate relief. There does not appear to be any dispute that the authorization of the petitioner is valid up to 31-12-2012 and the same has neither been suspended nor cancelled. The petitioner cannot be disabled to run the shop merely based on the inspection. In the circumstances, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition directing respondents 2 and 3 to continue to supply essential commodities to the petitioner as per his entitlement so long as the authorization remains in force. The Writ Petition is accordingly disposed of. No costs. ________________ NOUSHAD ALI, J. 01st November, 2011. Note : Issue C.C. by 02-11-2011. B/O skmr
