THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE R.SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No.16616 of 2010 ORDER: Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Civil Supplies appearing for the respondents. Petitioner is a dealer in kerosene oil and holds licence under the Andhra Pradesh Petroleum Products (Licensing & Regulation of Supplies) Order, 1980. On the ground that it has supplied the commodity to the wholesale dealer of Shop No.14 instead of Shop No.15 and it is buying kerosene oil from the cardholders, its authorisation was placed under suspension by the second respondent – Joint Collector, Medak, vide proceedings bearing No.CSA/159/2010, dated 09.04.2010. Before suspension of its authorisation, it approached this Court by filing W.P.No.9374 of 2010. When the proceedings, dated 09.04.2010 were placed before it, this Court disposed of the said writ petition on 26.04.2010 by giving liberty to the petitioner to prefer appeal and with the direction to the appellate authority to pass appropriate interim orders immediately and also dispose of the appeal within a period of two months. Consequently, the petitioner preferred appeal along with an application for stay before the appellate authority on 06.05.2010. It is the grievance of the petitioner that in spite of the directions issued by this Court in the aforesaid writ petition, its application for stay has not been taken up. On instructions, it is submitted by the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Civil Supplies appearing for the respondents that the appellate authority has called for the record from the primary authority and appropriate orders will be passed after receipt of the records from the primary authority. In the order, dated 26.04.2010 passed by this Court in W.P.No.9374 of 2010, there was a clear direction to the appellate authority to consider the matter, pass interim orders immediately and dispose of the appeal within a period of two (2) months. There appears prima facie no reason at all on the part of the appellate authority in not complying with the directions issued by this Court in spite of the fact that the appeal was filed as early as on 06.05.2010. Whether the allegations levelled against the petitioner are correct or not is a matter for enquiry and in view of pendency of the appeal preferred by the petitioner before the appellate authority and in the absence of disposal of the application for stay in terms of the directions issued by this Court in W.P.No.9374 of 2010, I deem it appropriate to direct the appellate authority - Commissioner of Civil Supplies, Hyderabad to dispose of the appeal filed by the petitioner as expeditiously as possible preferably, within a period of two (2) months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. Pending disposal of the appeal, the proceedings, dated 09.04.2010 issued by the second respondent shall remain suspended till disposal of the appeal by the appellate authority. Subject to the above directions, the writ petition is disposed of. No order as to costs. ______________________ R.SUBHASH REDDY, J 16th JULY, 2010. kvni
