JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.9089 of 2008 Between: Saraswati Mahila Mandali DWCRA Group Rep., by T. Bhagyamma, Basinikonda Village, Madanapalle Mandal, Chittoor District. … Petitioner AND The State of A.P., rep., by the District Collector, Chittoor, Chittoor District, A.P. & others. … Respondents Counsel for the petitioner : Sri S. Srinath This Court made the following: THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.9089 of 2008 ORDER:- This writ petition is filed for a writ of mandamus to declare the inaction of respondent No.2 in disposing of the appeal filed by the petitioner and remanding by the District Collector, Chittoor, as illegal. Heard Sri S. Srinath, learned counsel for the petitioner and perused the record. By order dated 14.02.2007, the petitioner’s authorization of Basinikonda fair price shop was cancelled by respondent No.3. The petitioner questioned the said order of cancellation before respondent No.2. By order dated 18.10.2007, respondent No.2 dismissed the said appeal. The petitioner filed a revision petition before the District Collector, Chittoor, who, by his order dated 08.02.2008 remanded the case to respondent No.2 for fresh disposal. The present writ petition is filed with the grievance that despite lapse of more than two months after remand, respondent No.2 has not been disposing the appeal. Having heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and perused the record, I am of the view that interests of justice would be met if respondent No.2 is directed to dispose of the petitioner’s appeal filed against order dated 14.02.2007 of respondent No.2 and remanded by the District Collector, Chittoor, within a period of six weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. Subject to the above observations, the writ petition is disposed of. As a sequel to disposal of the writ petition, WPMP.No.12034 of 2008 filed by the petitioner for interim relief is disposed of as infructuous. ____________________________ C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J Date: 24.04.2008 ES
