THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE NOUSHAD ALI WRIT PETITION No.17284 of 2011 Date: 22.06.2011 Between: Malawath Ramesh … Petitioner and The Appellate Authority/ Court of District and Sessions Judge, Adilabad and others. … Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE NOUSHAD ALI WRIT PETITION No.17284 of 2011 ORDER : Heard Sri T. Sujan Kumar, learned counsel appearing for the petitioner, as well as the learned Government Pleader for Civil Supplies appearing for the respondents, and with their consent the writ petition is being disposed of at the admission stage. 2. Aggrieved by the order in 6-A Case No.CS6/1021/2010, dated 16.4.2011, passed by the 2nd respondent-Collector (CS), Adilabad, directing to confiscate the seized stock of the petitioner pursuant to the initiation of the proceedings under Section 6-A of the Essential Commodities Act, 1955 (for brevity “the Act”) and the consequential order dated 3.5.2011 in Proc. No.C/4222/2011, passed by the 3rd respondent-Revenue Divisional Officer, Nirmal, Adilabad District, cancelling the authorization of the Fair Price Shop dealership, the petitioner has filed the present writ petition. 3. Admittedly, against the impugned order dated 16.4.2011 passed by the 2nd respondent, the petitioner has an effective alternative remedy of appeal to the 1st respondent-District and Sessions Judge, Adilabad, under Section 6 (c) of the Act. In view of the same, I am not inclined to admit the writ petition. The petitioner has not shown any exceptional circumstances to entertain the writ petition under Article 226 of the Constitution of India. 4. At this juncture, learned counsel for the petitioner states that the petitioner has already filed an appeal before the 1st respondent. If that be so, the 1st respondent may hear the appeal and dispose of the same expeditiously. 5. Subject to the above observation, the writ petition is dismissed. No order as to costs. ________________________ JUSTICE NOUSHAD ALI 22.06.2011. NOTE: Issue C.C. within one week.
