IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD (Special Original Jurisdiction) WEDNESDAY, THE NINTH DAY OF APRIL TWO THOUSAND AND EIGHT PRESENT THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION NO : 7713 of 2008 Between: Gudivada Sambamma W/o. Late M.V. Bhaskar R/o. Eedupugallu Post, Kankipadu Mandal, Krishna District. ..... PETITIONER AND 1 The State of A.P., Rep by Sub-Collector, Vijayawada, Krishna District. 2 The Asst. Grain Purchasing Officer, Office of Civil Supplies, Gandhinagar, Vijayadwada, Krishna District. .....RESPONDENTS Counsel for the Petitioner:MR.K.V.BHANU PRASAD Counsel for the Respondents: AGP FOR CIVIL SUPPLIES The Court made the following : ORDER: This writ petition is filed for a writ of mandamus to declare proceedings, dated 21.09.2007 issued by respondent No.1 whereby the petitioner’s fair price shop authorization has been suspended pending enquiry. Having heard Sri K.V.Bhanu Prasad, learned counsel for the petitioner and perused the record, I am not inclined to entertain this writ petition for the reason that against the order of suspension, the petitioner has a right of appeal under Clause 20(1) of the Andhra Pradesh State Public Distribution System Control Order, 2001. The petitioner has not given any extraordinary reason to convince this Court to entertain the writ petition filed bypassing such an effective alternative remedy. Moreover, the order of suspension pending enquiry was passed about seven months back and at this length of time, I do not see any reason to set aside an order, which was passed as an interim arrangement. At the hearing, the learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the Sub-Collector, Vijayawada, Krishna District may be directed to complete the enquiry at an early date. Since I find this request of the learned counsel reasonable, the Sub-Collector, Vijayawada, Krishna District is directed to complete the enquiry against the petitioner within a period of six (6) weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. Subject to the above observations, the writ petition is dismissed. As a sequel to dismissal of main petition, WPMP.No.10141 of 2008 filed by the petitioner for interim relief is disposed of as infructuous. C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J 9th APRIL, 2008 kvni
