HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R. SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No.19565 of 2010 Dated: 10-08-2010 Between: M. Venkata Subbaiah. … Petitioner And The Revenue Divisional Officer, Kadapa & another. … Respondents HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R. SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No.19565 of 2010 ORDER: The petitioner is a fair price shop dealer for shop No.79 in Kadapa town. Based on the inspection report of the Enforcement Deputy Tahsildar, Proddatur, the authorisation of the petitioner is suspended by the impugned order. A perusal of the impugned order shows that except the allegation of variation in quantities of rice and sugar when ground balances are compared with book balances, there is no other allegation against the petitioner. Having regard to the nature of allegation made against the petitioner, though it is a case to conduct inquiry so as to ascertain as to why such variations occurred, but the authorities cannot suspend the authorisation of the petitioner, merely basing on such allegation. As much as it is stated that the inquiry is pending with regard to the alleged variations, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition, by setting aside the order, dated 14.07.2010, issued in Reference No.C/1162/2010, by permitting the respondents to conduct inquiry on the variations alleged. During the pendency of inquiry, respondents are directed to supply the commodities to the petitioner’s fair price shop and allow him to distribute the commodities. However, it is made clear that with regard to the variations in rice and sugar, this order will not preclude the respondents from conducting inquiry and passing appropriate orders. Subject to the above directions, the writ petition is disposed of. No order as to costs. ______________________ R. SUBHASH REDDY, J 10th August 2010 N.B: Furnish C.C. in two days. (b/o) ajr
