The second respondent vide proceedings dated 07.06.2008 suspended the authorization of the petitioner pending enquiry alleging that the petitioner was not available in the village at the time of inspection and that he left for Kurnool without prior information to the authorities. Subsequently, a show cause notice, dated 08.07.2008 was issued calling upon the petitioner to show cause as to why his authorization should not be cancelled on account of the above said alleged irregularities. The petitioner states that he has submitted his explanation on 24.07.2008 denying the allegations. However, so far no ﬁnal order has been passed by the respondents. Aggrieved by the said action of the respondents, the present writ petition is ﬁled contending that cancellation of the authorization as proposed under the show cause notice, dated 08.07.2008, was unwarranted and unjustiﬁed having regard to the nature of the allegations made against the petitioner. It is also submitted that as a matter of fact the alleged irregularities are incorrect and without any basis. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Civil Supplies appearing for the respondents. Since the enquiry is pending before the respondents, it is neither proper nor necessary for this Court to express any opinion on merits. Instead, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition with a direction to the respondents to consider the explanation submitted by the petitioner on 24.07.2008 and pass appropriate orders in accordance with law as expeditiously as possible, preferably, within a period of two weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. _____________ G.ROHINI, J Date: 23.09.2008 Note: Furnish CC in two days B/o va
