IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD (Special Original Jurisdiction) THURSDAY, THE FIRST DAY OF MAY, TWO THOUSAND EIGHT ONLY PRESENT: THE HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.19263 of 2006 Between: Md. Aliya Begum … Petitioner AND Revenue Divisional Officer, Karimnagar, Karimnagar District & another. … Respondents Counsel for the petitioner : None Counsel for the respondents: AGP for Civil Supplies This Court made the following: THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.19263 of 2006 ORDER:- This writ petition is filed for a writ of Mandamus to set aside proceedings dated 10.03.2006 of respondent No.1, whereby he cancelled the petitioner’s fair price shop authorization. At the hearing, there is no representation for the petitioner. Heard the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Civil Supplies. A perusal of the record shows that against the order of cancellation of authorization, the petitioner has a remedy of appeal, but, without exhausting the same, she filed the present writ petition. However, in view of the fact that substantial time elapsed from the filing of the writ petition and this Court suspended the operation of the impugned order on 18.09.2006, I am not inclined to relegate the petitioner to file appeal. Instead, the writ petition is disposed of with a direction to respondent No.1 to complete the enquiry and pass final order, within a period of eight weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. Till then, respondent No.1 is directed to continue the petitioner as fair price shop dealer of Nagnoor Village, Karimnagar District. As a sequel to disposal of the writ petition, WPMP.No.24277 of 2006 and WVMP.No.525 of 2008 are disposed of as infructuous. ____________________________ C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J Date: 01.05.2008 ES
