HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE R. SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No.18591 of 2009 Date : 08.09.2009 Between : Tulluri Jaya Lakshmi Syamala Mani. …..Petitioner And The District Collector, Krishna & another. …..Respondents HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE R. SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No.18591 of 2009 ORDER : Heard learned counsel for petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Civil Supplies, appearing for the respondents. 2. In this writ petition, the petitioner, a licensee under the provisions of the Andhra Pradesh Scheduled Commodities Dealers (Licensing, Storage and Regulation) Order, 2008, seeks directions by way of Mandamus, declaring the action of respondents in not releasing the seized stocks, pursuant to her application dated 13th August 2009, as illegal and arbitrary. 3. The business premises of the petitioner was inspected by the officials of the Civil Supplies Department on 11th August 2009, and on the ground that the petitioner has stored the Pulses, Dal, Sugar etc., in violation of the provisions of the Control Order, her stocks were seized on the same day. Thereafter, the petitioner has submitted a representation dated 13th August 2009, seeking release of the seized stocks. 4. In this writ petition, it is the grievance of the petitioner that she is entitled to store up to thousand quintals of stocks as per the provisions of the A.P.Scheduled Commodities Dealers (Licensing, Storage and Regulation) Order, 2008, and the alleged variations found when the book stocks are compared with the ground balances, are in permissible limits, as such, it is contended that the very seizure itself is illegal. 5. As much as the petitioner has already submitted the representation dated 13th August 2009 before the 1st respondent, and it is stated that the said representation is still pending and no orders are passed so far, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition, directing the 1st respondent to consider the said representation and pass appropriate orders, as expeditiously as possible, preferably within a period of two weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. There shall be a further direction to the respondents not to take any steps for sale of the seized commodities till appropriate orders are passed and communicated to the petitioner, on her representation dated 13th August 2009. 6. Subject to above directions, the writ petition is disposed of. No order as to costs. ______________________ R. SUBHASH REDDY, J 8th September 2009 ajr
