HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R. SUBHASH REDDY Writ Petition No.28438 of 2009 16-02-2010 Between: Narra Maruthamma wife of Venkataiah … Petitioner And The District Collector, Nalgonda and three others … Respondents Order: The petitioner was an authorized fair price shop dealer for distribution of essential commodities in Kommala Village, Jajireddygudem Mandal, Nalgonda District. The authorisation granted to the petitioner is governed by the A.P State Public Distribution System (Control) Order, 2008. The authorisation of the petitioner was suspended pending enquiry, on certain allegations, by the orders of the 3rd respondent-Revenue Divisional Officer, Suryapet, Nalgonda District in D.No.234/07 dated 12-07-2007. Later the 3rd respondent revoked the suspension on 16-10-2007. It is pertinent to note that consequent to the revocation order, the petitioner was not allowed to continue as F.P. Dealer and hence he carried the matter in an Appeal, vide Case No.CS1/1784/2008, which was dismissed on 18-11-2009. Being aggrieved by the order of dismissal of the appeal, he preferred a revision before the 1st respondent. The revision is stated to be pending. In this writ petition, the petitioner has questioned the notification dated 26-11-2009 issued by the 3rd respondent for making fresh appointment of fair price shop dealer. The singular grievance of the petitioner in this writ petition is that if the new dealer is appointed pending disposal of the revision filed by him, he will be deprived of his authorisation and it may lead to further complications. On the other hand it is submitted by the learned Government Pleader for Civil Supplies that pursuant to the cancellation of dealership of the petitioner temporary arrangements were already made by appointing a temporary fair price shop dealer. In view of the pendency of the revision, it is not desirable to go into the various allegations made against the petitioner and inasmuch as the temporary arrangements were already made for distribution of the essential commodities, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition directing the 1st respondent to dispose of the revision petition filed by the petitioner as expeditiously as possible preferably within a period of three (3) months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. However, it is made clear that pending the revision petition, no further steps shall be taken pursuant to the notification dated 26-11-2009 issued by the 3rd respondent for appointment of a fair price shop dealer on permanent basis. The writ petition is disposed of as indicated above at the stage of admission. No costs. ____________________ R. SUBHASH REDDY, J 16TH FEBRUARY 2010 Note: Issue CC in Two(2) days. (B/o) TSNR
