THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA WRIT PETITION NO :20565 of 2009 DATED: 24-09-2009 Between: P.V.V.Gopala Krishna. ..... PETITIONER And The Joint Collector (Civil Supplies), Vizianagaram District & 3 others. .....RESPONDENTS ORDER: Questioning the order, dated 07-09-2009, of the 2nd respondent-Revenue Divisional Officer, Vizianagaram suspending the authorization of the petitioner, the petitioner approached this Court and filed the present Writ Petition. 2. Heard learned counsel appearing for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Civil Supplies appearing for the respondents. 3. The main contention of the learned counsel appearing for the petitioner is that the 2nd respondent-Revenue Divisional Officer simply acted on the instructions of the 1st respondent-Joint Collector in suspending the said authorization and hence the petitioner could not approach the 1st respondent-Joint Collector and file an appeal. 4. It may be true that the authorization of the petitioner was suspended by the 2nd respondent-Revenue Divisional Officer at the instance of the 1st respondent-Joint Collector. This Court is of the view that instead of directing the petitioner to approach the appellate authority i.e., the Joint Collector, the 2nd respondent- Revenue Divisional Officer himself can be directed to complete the enquiry. 5. Accordingly, this Writ Petition is disposed of with a direction to the 2nd respondent-Revenue Divisional Officer to complete the said enquiry against the petitioner at the earliest, preferably, within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order and if the enquiry is not concluded and no further orders are passed, the authorization of the petitioner shall be restored and he shall be permitted to distribute the scheduled commodities to the card holders during the pendency of the said enquiry. There shall be no order as to costs. _______________________ T.GOPALAKRISHNA,J 24th September, 2009. Tsy
