The matter is coming up ‘for admission” today.

After careful examination of the appeal and stay petition filed by the petitioner, it is felt that there are no substantial grounds made out in the appeal and stay petition and not deserved for admission. Therefore, the appeal along with stay petition is hereby dismissed at the admission stage. An appeal lies to the Collector, Ongole within 30 days from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. 3. The writ petition is filed for a writ of mandamus, declaring the Proceedings of the first respondent in RC.CS2/1007/2007 dated 11-4-2007 in confirming the orders of the second respondent issued in RC.C/510/2006 dated 18-3-2007 as illegal, arbitrary, violative of principles of natural justice and consequently to direct the respondents to continue the petitioner as Fair Price Shop of Venkatapuram village, Addanki Mandal, Prakasam district by suspending the proceedings of the first respondent in RC.CS2/2007 dated 11-4-2007 in confirming the orders of the second respondent issued in RC.C/510/2006 dated 18-3-2007 and to pass such other suitable orders. 4. The elaborate facts narrated and the averments made in relation thereto need not detain this court any longer, since the impugned order suffers from non-recording of reasons.
