THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.8422 of 2011 Dated 30.03.2011 Between: V.Lalitha …Petitioner And The Joint Collector, Nalgonda and others …Respondents Counsel for the petitioner: Sri T.Prasanna Kumar Counsel for respondents: Assistant Government Pleader for Civil Supplies The Court made the following: ORDER: This writ petition is filed for a mandamus to declare the inaction of respondent No.1 in completing the enquiry and passing a final order in pursuance of proceedings dated 27.10.2010 of respondent No.1 as illegal and arbitrary. I have heard Sri T.Prasanna Kumar, learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Assistant Government Pleader for Civil Supplies and perused the record. The petitioner is the fair price shop dealer of Raghavapuram Village, Atmakur Mandal, Nalgonda District. On certain allegations, her fair price shop authorization was suspended by respondent No.2, vide his order dated 09.08.2010. Feeling aggrieved by the said order, the petitioner filed an appeal before respondent No.1. By order dated 06.11.2010, respondent No.1, while declining to interfere with the order of suspension, directed respondent No.2 to complete the enquiry and pass a final order within a period of three weeks from the date of receipt of said order. The grievance of the petitioner is that though substantial time had elapsed since passing of said order, respondent No.2 has not completed the enquiry and passed final order. In my opinion, respondent No.2 is bound to implement the direction of respondent No.1, who is not only his superior in rank but also the appellate authority. Therefore, respondent No.2 is directed to complete the enquiry and pass a final order within a period of one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. Subject to the above direction, the Writ Petition is disposed of. As a sequel to disposal of the writ petition, W.P.M.P.No.10457 of 2011 filed by the petitioner for interim relief is disposed of as infructuous. ________________________ C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J 30th March, 2011 GHN
