HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE K.G. SHANKAR WRIT PETITION No.43 OF 2011 ORDER : The petitioner is a Gas Agency. Proceedings were initiated against the petitioner under Clause 28(1) of the Andhra Pradesh Petroleum Products (L & R S), Order 1980 (Control Order, 1980, for short). Although the Joint Collector, who is the 2nd respondent, was expected to pass regular order under Clause 28(1) of the Control Order, he apparently passed orders under Clause 28(2), which is an interim order. Questioning the same, the writ petitioner preferred an appeal before the 1st respondent–Commissioner of Civil Supplies. 2. The basic grievance of the petitioner is that although the appeal was filed nearly 25 days ago, the 1st respondent has not taken up the same. 3. When I proposed to dispose of the writ petition, directing the 1st respondent to dispose of the appeal of the writ petitioner, the learned counsel for the writ petitioner suggested that in the appeal, before the 1st respondent, what the 1st respondent can order is to direct the 2nd respondent to proceed under Clause 28(1) of the Control Order, 1980 and that instead of asking the 1st respondent to pass an order, a similar order may be passed by me. He also suggested that he automatically withdraws the appeal laid by him. 4. Learned Assistant Government Pleader for Civil Supplies has no objection. 5. The Writ Petition is, accordingly, ordered. The petitioner is permitted to withdraw the appeal pending before the 1st respondent. The 2nd respondent is directed to initiate proceedings against the petitioner under Clause 28(1) of the Control Order, 1980 within a period of one week from the date of receipt of a copy of this order and dispose of the same expeditiously. There shall be no order as to costs. ______________ K.G. SHANKAR, J January 06, 2011. Note: Issue C.C. by two days. B/O. KTL/YVL
