Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE NOUSHAD ALI Writ Petition No.17292 of 2011 ORDER : Heard Smt.S.Annapoorna, learned counsel representing Sri Chalakani Venkat Yadav and the learned Government Pleader for Civil Supplies. Having regard to the short grievance presented by the counsel during the course of hearing to direct the 2nd Respondent-Joint Collector (CS), Nalgonda District to dispose of the appeal filed by the petitioner within a time frame, this Writ Petition is being disposed of at the admission stage. The petitioner is a fair price shop dealer of Lingojigudem Village, Choutuppal Mandal, Nalgonda District. The 3rd Respondent-Revenue Divisional Officer, Bhongir initiated disciplinary proceedings basing on the report of the Civil Supplies Task Force Team, Bhongir alleging that the petitioner has committed certain irregularities and cancelled the authorization by proceedings No.C/3882/2010, dated 24-03- 2011. Aggrieved by the said order, the writ petitioner preferred an appeal before the 2n d Respondent. He also filed an application seeking stay of the orders of the 3rd Respondent. The 2nd Respondent has taken the appeal on file, but rejected the stay petition. Aggrieved by the same, the petitioner has filed this writ petition. There is no dispute that before the authorization was cancelled, the authorization was suspended on 14-12-2010 and the petitioner has not been running the shop ever since then. Indisputably, the petitioner has filed an appeal which has been taken on file by the 2nd Respondent vide orders in Case No.CS1/1352/2011, dated 24-05-2011. It is therefore clear that considerable time has elapsed ever since the petitioner has approached the 2nd Respondent. In matters of this nature the 2nd Respondent, who is a statutory authority, is expected to consider the matters expeditiously. In the circumstances, this Writ Petition is disposed of directing the 2nd Respondent-Joint Collector (C.S), Nalgonda to consider and dispose of the appeal filed by the petitioner against the order dated 24-03-2011 passed by the 3rd Respondent, by passing appropriate orders as expeditiously as possible, preferably within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of the order. No costs. ________________ NOUSHAD ALI, J. 03rd August, 2011 skmr
