THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.26471 of 2010 Dated 26th October, 2010 Between: A. Sujatha …Petitioner And The Joint Collector, Karimnagar and others …Respondents Counsel for the petitioner: Sri K. Venumadhav Counsel for respondents: Assistant Government Pleader for Civil Supplies The Court made the following: ORDER: This writ petition is filed for a Mandamus to set aside the order dated 28.03.2010 passed by respondent No.2, whereby he has suspended the petitioner’s fair price shop dealership authorization. I have heard Sri K. Venumadhav, the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Civil Supplies. On the basis of the report submitted by respondent No.3, respondent No.2 has suspended the petitioner’s authorization on certain alleged irregularities in the running of the fair price shop by the petitioner. On the same day, respondent No.2 has issued a show- cause notice calling upon the petitioner to show cause as to why her authorization shall not be cancelled. The petitioner is stated to have submitted her explanation on 13.04.2010. In the light of the abovementioned facts, I am of the opinion that as the enquiry is pending before respondent No.2, it is not appropriate for this Court to interfere with the order of suspension during the pendency of the enquiry. Inasmuch as the petitioner is stated to have submitted her explanation as far back as 13.04.2010, I do not find any justification for respondent No.2 for not completing the enquiry at the earliest. In this view of the matter, while declining to interfere with the impugned order of suspension, respondent No.2 is directed to complete the enquiry and pass appropriate orders within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. Subject to the above direction, the Writ Petition is disposed of. As a sequel to disposal of the writ petition, W.P.M.P.No.33797 of 2010 filed by the petitioner for interim relief is disposed as infructuous. ________________________ C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J 26th October, 2010 Note: Issue CC in one week.
