HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V. NAGARJUNA REDDY W.P.No.10910 of 2010 Date : 9-12-2011 Between: The Toddy Tappers Co-operative Society, Represented b its President Anjaiah Goud, Khammampally village, Munipally Mandal, Medak District. .. Petitioner And The Prohibition & Excise Superintendent, Medak District, at Sangareddy and another .. Respondents Counsel for petitioner : Sri S. Sudarshan Counsel for respondents : Assistant Government Pleader for Prohibition & Excise The court made the following: ORDER: This Writ Petition is ﬁled for a mandamus to set- aside proceedings Cr.No.B2/82/2010, dated 25-3-2010, whereby respondent No.1 has suspended the petitioner’s T.C.S. licence. The petitioner’s licence was suspended following an inspection by the Excise oﬃcials and conducting spot test which allegedly revealed that the toddy sold by the petitioner was adulterated. On the basis of the result of the spot test, the impugned order of suspension was issued by respondent No.1. The main ground on which the said order is questioned in this Writ Petition is that the same is in the nature of a ﬁnal order as it is stated that the licence is suspended for the rest of the period pending further enquiry. In the counter-aﬃdavit, the respondents sought to clarify the purport of the impugned order by stating that the same is passed pending enquiry. No doubt, a perusal of the impugned order would show that respondent No.1 has deployed mutually contradictory expressions, namely, “suspended for rest of the period” and “pending further enquiry”. However, since the respondents have clariﬁed in the counter-aﬃdavit that the order of suspension will last till completion of the enquiry and passing a ﬁnal order, the Writ Petition is disposed of with the direction to respondent No.1 to complete the enquiry and pass the ﬁnal order within a period of one month from the date of receipt of this order. Since the petitioner is having an order of suspension pending the Writ Petition, it shall be permitted to run the business till completion of the enquiry and passing of the final order. As a sequel, WPMP No.13941/2010 and WVMP No.4842/2010 are disposed of as infructuous. ________________________ Justice C.V. Nagarjuna Reddy Date : 9-12-2011 AM
