Perused the material placed before me. Challenging the proceedings of the first respondent in suspending his authorisation as a fair price shop dealer, pending enquiry, the petitioner filed the present writ petition. However, it is to be noticed that a statutory appeal under the Control Order 2001 is undisputedly available to the petitioner to challenge the impugned proceedings. But the learned counsel for the petitioner, Mr.Swamy, vehemently contends that the first respondent has not at all issued any show cause notice to the petitioner before resorting to suspend the authorisation of the petitioner as such. Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, the writ petition is disposed of at the stage of admission with liberty being given to the petitioner to approach the appellate authority, within two weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order, seeking redressal. It is further made clear that the petitioner is also at liberty to file an application seeking interim orders and upon any such application being filed by the petitioner, seeking any interim relief, the appellate authority shall consider it and pass orders as deemed fit with utmost expedition. Till such time, the impugned order dated 16-3- 2005 passed by the first respondent shall not be given effect to. No costs. ------------------------ 23-03-2005 Note: Operative portion of the Order may be given on Wire at party’s cost.
