He alleges that he fell ill from 15.3.2010 to 08.4.2010. After recovering he allegedly applied on 12.4.2010 for renewal of the authorization. In the mean while, Additional Revenue Inspector along with Vigilance staff inspected the FPS on 12.4.2010 and conducted panchanama. It is alleged that petitioner committed illegalities in running the FPS. Though 352 ration cards were attached, respondents did not supply essential commodities for distribution to cardholders. He asserts that his authorization has not been cancelled or suspended. Therefore, he filed instant writ petition seeking inter alia a direction to second respondent to renew her authorization and continue to supply essential commodities. At the stage of admission itself, the Assistant Government Pleader for Civil Supplies obtained instructions. It is brought to the notice of this Court that by proceedings dated 20.4.2010, the second respondent has suspended the authorization of petitioner. If that be so, remedy of petitioner is either to approach the Revenue Divisional Officer (RDO) seeking renewal of authorization or file appeal against the suspension order to the Joint Collector – first respondent herein. As the petitioner’s authorization is suspended, direction as sought cannot be granted. The writ petition, with the above observations, is accordingly dismissed. ______________ (V.V.S.
