By order, dated 11-10-2008, passed by the 3rd respondent-Revenue Divisional Oﬃcer, Tirupathi, the petitioner was removed from the dealership suspending his authorization temporarily. Aggrieved by the same, the petitioner ﬁled an appeal along with the application for stay before the Joint Collector, Chittoor. Alleging that the petitioner’s appeal and the application for stay have not been considered so far, the present writ petition is filed. Having heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Civil Supplies appearing for the respondents and having regard to the fact that the statutory appeal is pending before the 2nd respondent, without going into the merits of the case, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition with a direction to the 2nd respondent to dispose of the appeal pending on its ﬁle as expeditiously as possible, preferably within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. Keeping in view that the petitioner has distributed the commodities for the month of October, 2008, it is further ordered that till appropriate orders are passed by the 2nd respondent, the impugned order, dated 11-10-2008, shall not be given effect to. There shall be no order as to costs. ___________ 03-11-2008 Prv ..... REGISTRAR // TRUE COPY // SECTION OFFICER To 1.2CCs to 2.2CD copies Form-NIC-OGS/WP{LS}
