THE HON'BLE MS JUSTICE G.ROHINI WRIT PETITION No. 15299 of 2010 Date: 05.07.2010 Between: V.Jayaramulu ..... PETITIONER AND The Revenue Divisional Officer, Anantapur District and another .....RESPONDENTS The Court made the following : THE HON'BLE MS JUSTICE G.ROHINI WRIT PETITION No. 15299 OF 2010 O R D E R : The petitioner’s authorisation as a dealer of the fair price shop No.4 of Vidapanakal village and Mandal, Anantapur District was suspended pending enquiry vide proceedings of the 2nd respondent dated 30.03.3010. Aggrieved by the same, the petitioner preferred an appeal before the 1st respondent along with an application for stay. The 1st respondent by order dated 09.04.2010 rejected the petitioner’s application for stay. Challenging the same, the present writ petition has been filed. I have heard the learned counsel for the petitioner as well as the learned Government Pleader for Civil Supplies appearing for the respondents. At the outset, it is to be noticed that the suspension of the authorisation of the petitioner is pending enquiry into the alleged irregularities in the distribution of essential commodities to the card holders. It is stated that a show cause notice was also issued to the petitioner on 09.04.2010 calling upon to show cause as to why his authorisation should not be cancelled and the petitioner had submitted the explanation. In the circumstances, the respondents are bound to complete the enquiry expeditiously following due process of law. Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, instead of going into the validity or otherwise of the impugned order dated 09.04.2010, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the Writ Petition with a direction to the respondents to complete the enquiry initiated against the petitioner following due process of law notwithstanding the appeal pending before the 1st respondent and pass appropriate order as expeditiously as possible preferably within a period of four (4) weeks from the date of receipt of this order. In case, the enquiry is not completed within the time fixed above, the order of suspension dated 30.03.2010 shall stand set aside and the petitioner’s authorisation shall be restored. Writ Petition is accordingly disposed of. No costs. ​ ____________ Date: 05.07.2010 G. ROHINI, J Ivd
