HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY W.P.No.22991 of 2010 Date : 4-10-2010 Between : Smt.Kattamuri Ramanamma .. Petitioner And The Collector & District Magistrate, Visakhapatnam District and others .. Respondents Counsel for petitioner : P.Srinivas Rao Counsel for respondents : Assistant Government Pleader for Civil Supplies. The Court made the following : HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY W.P.No.22991 of 2010 ORDER: This Writ Petition is filed for a mandamus to set aside proceedings dated 28-8-2010 whereby the petitioner’s fair price shop authorization has been suspended by respondent No.2. I have heard Sri P.Srinivas Rao, learned counsel for petitioner and the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Civil Supplies. A perusal of the impugned order shows that the Probationary Deputy Collector submitted a report on the basis of inspection of certain fair price shops in Anakapalli Mandal on 12th and 13th August 2010 wherein he appeared to have reported that certain fair price shops were being run by benami dealers and certain fair price shops were closed at the time inspection. On the basis of the said report, respondent No.2 has suspended the petitioner’s authorization. As rightly contended by the learned counsel for the petitioner, the impugned order is generic and vague. It is not even prima facie observed in the said order that the petitioner’s is one of the shops which is either run through banami or was found closed at the time of inspection. On the basis of such vague and unsubstantiated allegations the licence of a fair price shop dealer cannot be suspended. Though in ordinary course this Court does not entertain Writ Petitions filed bye-passing appeal, as the impugned order is patently illegal and cannot be sustained, the Writ Petition is entertained and the impugned order is set-aside. This order, however, does not preclude the respondents from initiating appropriate proceedings if the petitioner is found to have indulged in commissions and omissions in running of the fair price shop. The Writ Petition is accordingly allowed. __________________________ C.V. NAGARJUNA REDDY.,J Date : 4-10-2010 AM
