THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.RAMULU W.P.No.290 of 2007 ORAL ORDER: This writ petition is filed seeking a Mandamus declaring the proceedings issued by the second respndent in R.C.F.No.1361/2006 dated 12.10.2006 suspending the authorization of the petitioner, as arbitrary and illegal. It appears, petitioner is the fair price shop dealer of Inimerla village, Pamur mandal, Prakasam district. While so, his authorization was suspended by the second respondent-Revenue Divisional Officer by order dated 12.10.2006 pending enquiry into the allegations made against him. In fact, against the said order, the petitioner has got an effective alternative remedy of appeal before the first respndent-Joint Collector and instead of approaching the appellate authority, the petitioner has straightaway filed this writ petition. In view of the above, without expressing any opinion on merits, the petitioner is directed to file statutory appeal against the impugned order dated 12.10.2006 before the first respondent-Joint Collector within (10) days from the date of receipt of a copy of this order and the first respondent-Joint Collector shall entertain and dispose of the same, as per law, within a period of (8) weeks from the date of receipt of such appeal. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of. No order as to costs. _____________ C.V.RAMULU, J Date: 5.1.2007 DA THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.RAMULU W.P.No.290 of 2007 5.1.2007 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE OF ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.RAMULU W.P.No.290 of 2007 Date: 5th January, 2007 Between: Jada James ..
