While so, on 12.05.2008 the Assistant Supply Officer, Vizianagaram inspected his shop and seized the stocks available in it. Later, he submitted a report to the Revenue Divisional Officer, Vizianagaram - 3rd respondent. Pursuant thereto, the 3rd respondent suspended his authorisation by an order dated 15.05.2009. Challenging the same, he filed an appeal before the Joint Collector, Vizianagaram District - 2nd respondent on 25.05.2009 along with a petition seeking stay of operation of the said order. When no orders are passed either in the stay petition or in the main appeal, he filed W.P.No.17090 of 2009 and this Court disposed of the said writ petition by an order dated 19.08.2009 directing the appellate authority to dispose of the appeal within a period of four weeks. As the 2nd respondent was on leave, the Collector, Vizianagaram - 1st respondent has taken up the matter and dismissed the appeal while confirming the order of the 3rd respondent, by an order dated 14.10.2009. The same is questioned in this writ petition. 2. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner as well as the learned Government Pleader for Civil Supplies. 3. It may not be necessary for this Court to go into the aspect as to whether the 1st respondent is justified in passing the order impugned in this writ petition or not, as it is only against an order of suspension and the 3rd respondent has to pass appropriate orders as to whether the petitioner's authorisation shall be cancelled or not. Therefore, this Court is of the view that this writ petition can be disposed with a direction to the 3rd respondent to complete the enquiry, at the earliest. 4. Accordingly, this writ petition is disposed of directing the 3rd respondent to complete the enquiry within a period of six (6) weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. In the event of his failure in completing the enquiry and pass necessary orders within the stipulated time, the authorization of the petitioner shall be restored and the essential commodities shall be supplied to his fair price shop so as to enable him to distribute the same to the cardholders.
