Rana Praveer Counsel for respondent Nos. 1 to 3 : 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 19-08-2010 passed by respondent No.2. The petitioner is a fair price shop dealer whose fair price shop’s authorisation was suspended by order dated 19-08-2010. The present writ petition is filed questioning the said order. In his affidavit, the petitioner has stated that against the said order, he has filed an appeal before respondent No.1 and that the same is pending. As the petitioner has availed the remedy of a statutory appeal, he cannot maintain the present writ petition for questioning the same order which is the subject matter of the appeal. The learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that though his client has sought for stay, respondent No.1 has not disposed of the same so far. If the petitioner has filed an application for stay along with the appeal, respondent No.1 shall dispose of the same within a period of one week 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, WPMP No. 28689 of 2010, filed by the petitioner for interim relief, is disposed of as infructuous. C.V. NAGARJUNA REDDY, J Dated: 9th September, 2010 ks
