The Court made the following order: ORDER: 1. This writ petition has been filed questioning the order passed by the 1st respondent, viz., Revenue Divisional Officer, Narsaraopet, Guntur District, temporarily suspending the authorization of the petitioner to run the Fair Price Shop subject to final enquiry, as illegal. 2. The petitioner is an authorized Fair Price Shop dealer in respect of the shop located at Savalyapuram Village and Mandal, Guntur District. The Deputy Tahsildar, Vinukonda, inspected the shop of the petitioner on 5.01.2008 and found certain irregularities. Based on the said report, the 1st respondent has passed the impugned order. 3. Heard Sri P. Nagendra Reddy learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Government Pleader for Civil Supplies. 4. As seen from the impugned order the authorization has been suspended as a temporary measure pending the final enquiry. The learned Government Pleader submits that the enquiry is still pending and the petitioner can defend his case in the regular enquiry. 5. This Court by order in W.P.M.P.No.32648 of 2008 dated 24.11.2008 suspended the impugned order and directed the respondents to restore the authorization of the petitioner permitting him to run the Fair Price Shop. The respondents were also permitted to conduct a detailed enquiry and pass appropriate orders as per law. Since the enquiry is stated to be still pending and by virtue of the interim orders, the petitioner has been running the Fair Price Shop, it is appropriate that the enquiry itself be directed to be completed within the time frame in order to avoid inconvenience to the public and also hardship to the petitioner. 6. In the circumstances, the 1st respondent is directed to complete the enquiry, if not already completed, as early as possible preferably within a period of six weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. It is however made clear that the orders impugned Rc.46/2006-B dated 8.01.2008 shall remain suspended during the pendency of the appeal. 7. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs. ________________ NOUSHAD ALI, J. 11th November, 2010 Js.
