The petitioner impeaches the order impugned on the ground that the allegations which led to the impugned order of suspension pending enquiry of the authorization are not true. In this Writ Petition, whether the allegations are true or false cannot be gone into. On the basis of a prima facie assertion of commission of irregularities in the running of the fair price shop, the petitioner’s authorization has been suspended. Whether the petitioner has been guilty of the malpractices alleged is a matter to be gone into at the eventual hearing. The allegations are grave; the authorization is liable to be suspended for grave allegations and the authority which has imposed the order of suspension is a competent authority. These are only issues relevant to adjudication of the validity of an order of suspension pending enquiry of an authorization. On the analysis above, there is no infirmity in the order impugned, warranting interference by this Court under Art. 226 of the Constitution. There are no merits. The Writ Petition is accordingly dismissed at the stage of admission, after hearing the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Civil Supplies. There shall be no order as to costs. GODA RAGHURAM, J Date: 14.7.2008 cvm
