THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.RAMULU W.P.No.15859 of 2006 Dated: 01.08.2006 Between K.Srinivas …..Petitioner and 1. The Joint Collector (CS)-I R.R.District at Lakdikapool, Hyderabad-4 and others. ….Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.RAMULU W.P.No.15859 of 2006 ORDER: This writ petition is filed seeking a Mandamus to declare the proceedings No.F/1497/2006 dated 29.5.2006 on the file of the 2nd respondent as arbitrary and illegal. It seems that the fair price dealership of the petitioner against Gandeed village, RR District, was suspended pending detailed enquiry into the allegations made therein. In fact, being aggrieved by the said order, the petitioner has already filed an appeal before the Joint Collector and the same is pending. I am of the opinion that suspension pending enquiry is neither a penalty nor a final decision. Such suspensions are made only to enable the authorities to enquire into the matter properly and see that the person involved is kept away from the records and other evidence, so that he may not tamper with the evidence or remove the evidence already on record. In view of the above, the writ petition is liable to be dismissed. Accordingly, the writ petiton is dismissed. However, the 2nd respondent-Revenue Divisional Officer is directed to complete the enquiry contemplated under the impugned proceedings within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of a coy of this Order without reference to the appeal pending before the Joint Collector. No costs. ________ 1.8.2006 rkk
