Respondents THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA WVMP No.2607 of 2009 & Writ Petition No.6544 of 2009 ORDER: 1 The fourth Respondent’s authorization was suspended by the Revenue Divisional Officer on 5.11.2007 on the ground that he was involved in a criminal case. However, the said order of suspension was revoked by the same authority on 04.03.2009. Questioning the said order, the Petitioner, who was appointed temporarily in the place of the fourth Respondent to distribute the essential commodities, approached the Joint Collector and filed an appeal on 19.03.2009. But, without waiting for the orders to be passed by the Joint Collector, the Petitioner approached this court and filed the present Writ Petition on 25.3.2009 and this Hon'ble Court on 29.06.2009 in WPMP No.8554 of 2009 was pleased to suspend the said order of revocation of the authorization of the fourth Respondent passed by the Revenue Divisional Officer dated 04.03.2009. Seeking vacation of the said interim order, the fourth Respondent approached this court and filed WVMP No.2607 of 2009. 2 Having regard to the fact that the appeal is very much pending before the first Respondent-Appellate Authority, this court is of the view that this Writ Petition can be disposed of with a direction to the first Respondent to decide the appeal preferred by the writ Petitioner at the earliest, preferably, within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order allowing the writ Petitioner to distribute the schedule commodities to the cardholders during the pendency of the said appeal. 3 At this juncture, Mr. K.Rathanga Pani Reddy learned counsel for the fourth Respondent submitted that the authorization of the Writ Petitioner as fair price shop dealer was suspended on certain irregularities. Now, it is not necessary for this court to go into the said aspect. But, however, in the light of the said submission made by the learned counsel for the fourth Respondent the authorities are hereby directed to allow the writ Petitioner to distribute the essential commodities to the cardholders provided her authorization is in force. 4 The Writ Petition is accordingly disposed of. No order as to costs. -------------------------------- 24.09.2009 kvsn
