HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE R. SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No.21704 of 2010 Date : 31.08.2010 Between : Kondamudi Benerjee. …..Petitioner And The Revenue Divisional Officer, Ongole & others. …..Respondents HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE R. SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No.21704 of 2010 ORDER : In this writ petition, the petitioner has questioned the order, dated 9th August 2010, passed by the 1st respondent-Revenue Divisional Officer, Ongole, in Proceedings Rc.G/1097/2010. The petitioner is a fair price shop dealer for Shop No.7 of Vinjanampadu village of Yaddanapudi Mandal in Prakasam District. As early as in the month of May 2010, based on the report of the Tahsildar, Yaddanapudi, proceedings were initiated against the petitioner for cancellation of authorization. Referring to the allegations made against the petitioner, a show cause notice, dated 13.05.2010 was issued in Rc.No.1097/G/2010, and it is stated that the petitioner has already filed his explanation to the said show cause notice on 29th of May 2010. On the very same set of allegations, again now, the impugned order is passed, suspending the authorization of petitioner, pending inquiry. When the proceedings are initiated in the month of May 2010, and explanation is already filed by the petitioner to the show cause notice, dated 13.05.2010, there is no reason for the respondents for not proceeding with the inquiry and for not passing appropriate final orders in the matter. Further, there is also no reason to suspend the authorization of petitioner, at this point of time, again pending inquiry. As much as the petitioner has already filed his explanation as early as on 29.05.2010, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition by setting aside the order, dated 9th August 2010, issued in Proceedings Rc.G/1097/2010, by the Revenue Divisional Officer, Ongole, with a direction to him to pass appropriate final orders pursuant to the show cause notice, dated 13.05.2010, by considering the explanation filed by the petitioner on 29.05.2010, as expeditiously as possible, preferably within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. Subject to the above directions, the writ petition is disposed of. No order as to costs. ______________________ R. SUBHASH REDDY, J 31st August 2010 ajr
