THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R.SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No.5249 of 2006 ORDER: Petitioner is a kerosene dealer. This Writ Petition is filed questioning order, dated 30.07.2005 passed by the second respondent – Joint Collector, Vizianagaram, in Rc.No.236/2005/G1 suspending the license granted to him under the provisions of the Andhra Pradesh Petroleum Products (Licensing and Regulation of Supplies) Order, 1980 (for short, ‘Order, 1980’), as confirmed by the first respondent/appellate authority – Director of Civil Supplies, Government of Andhra Pradesh, Hyderabad, vide order, dated 25.02.2006 passed in proceedings No.E2/11494/2005. The license of the petitioner was suspended by the second respondent on 30.07.2005 in exercise of power under Clause 28(2) of Order, 1980 on the ground that he has diverted PDS kerosene into black market. He carried the same in appeal. It is stated that pending appeal, there was an interim order in his favour. On dismissal of the appeal, he filed this Writ Petition. At the stage of admission, this Court by taking into account the fact that the appellate authority passed interim orders in favour of the petitioner during pendency of the appeal, passed interim order on 18.03.2006 suspending the impugned order, by leaving open to the second respondent to complete the enquiry and pass appropriate final orders, and the said order continued all along. Though the Writ Petition is of 2006, no counter-affidavit is filed. The power conferred under Clause 28(2) of Order, 1980, is by way of interim measure pending action under clause 28(1) thereof. As much as the impugned order passed by the second respondent is interim in nature and the said order was suspended by this Court as early as on 18.03.2006, which continued all along, and as it is submitted by the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Civil Supplies appearing for the respondents that there are no instructions to report whether the second respondent passed final orders or not, I deem it appropriate to direct the second respondent to pass appropriate final orders, if not already passed as on today, within a period of three (3) months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. Further, the impugned order shall remain suspended, till the second respondent passes appropriate final orders. The Writ Petition is disposed of with the directions referred to above. No order as to costs. _______________________ R.SUBHASH REDDY, J 27th SEPTEMBER, 2011. kvni
