5THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R. SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No.7385 OF 2009 ORDER: 1 Though the matter is listed under the caption ‘interlocutory’, at request of the counsel appearing on both sides, the Writ Petition itself is taken up for final hearing and is being disposed of. 2 Petitioner herein is an authorised Fair Price Shop Dealer for distribution of essential commodities in Lingala village, Pamulapadu Mandal, Kurnool District. 3 The authorisation granted to the petitioner has been suspended by the impugned order dated 07.03.2009 passed in Rc.B.341/2009 by the Revenue Divisional Officer pending enquiry into the allegations, as per the provisions under the A.P. State Public Distribution System (Control) Order, 2008. 4 At the stage of admission, this Court has granted an interim order on 09.04.2009, pursuant to which, it is submitted that the petitioner is continuing as a dealer. 5 When the matter is taken up for hearing, it is submitted that on the allegations made against the petitioner, an enquiry is pending before the Revenue Divisional Officer. 6 The impugned order in this Writ Petition is suspension of the authorisation of the petitioner pending enquiry. It is not in dispute that in pursuance of the interim orders granted by this Court on 09.04.2009, the petitioner is continuing as dealer. Though the petitioner is denying the various allegations levelled against him, it is a matter for enquiry by the competent authority. Inasmuch as it is stated that the enquiry is still pending before the Revenue Divisional Officer and since the petitioner is continuing as a dealer in pursuance of the interim orders granted by this Court from 09.04.2009 onwards, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the Writ Petition directing the second respondent – Revenue Divisional Officer, Kurnool to complete the enquiry on the allegations made against the petitioner by giving opportunity to the petitioner and pass appropriate orders as expeditiously as possible, preferably within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. There shall be a further direction to the respondents that pending completion of the enquiry and passing of appropriate final orders, the interim order passed by this Court in WPMP No.9683 of 2009 dated 09.04.2009 shall continue to operate. 7 Subject to the above directions, this Writ Petition is disposed of. No order as to costs. -------------------------- R.Subhash Reddy, J. 26.12.2011 Kvsn
