THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.25471 of 2010 Dated 08th October, 2010 Between: Mattipalli Babu …Petitioner And The Joint Collector, Nalgonda and others. …Respondents Counsel for the petitioner: Mr.Palle Nageswar Rao Counsel for respondents: Assistant Government Pleader for Civil Supplies The Court made the following: ORDER: This writ petition is filed for a Mandamus to set aside the order dated 27.09.2010 of respondent No.1 whereby he has rejected the interim stay sought for by the petitioner in the appeal filed against the order dated 17.08.2010 of respondent No.2 cancelling the petitioner’s fair price shop authorization. I have heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Civil Supplies. A perusal of the impugned order shows that respondent No.1 failed to assign any reasons for rejecting the interim stay application. In my opinion, when the appeal is taken on file, respondent No.1 ought to have considered the application for stay on merits by applying the parameters of the elements of balance of convenience and irreparable injury. Inasmuch as the appeal is already taken on file, I am of the opinion that it would be in the interests of justice that the order of respondent No.2 cancelling the fair price shop authorization of the petitioner be stayed during the pendency of the appeal. Accordingly, the impugned order dated 27.09.2010 of respondent No.1 is set aside and the order dated 17.08.2010 of respondent No.2 stands stayed pending the appeal before respondent No.1. Respondent No.1 is directed to dispose of the appeal as expeditiously as possible. Subject to the above directions, the Writ Petition is allowed. As a sequel to disposal of the writ petition, W.P.M.P.No.32536 of 2010 filed by the petitioner for interim relief is disposed as infructuous. ________________________ C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J 08th October, 2010 GHN
