THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R. SUBHASH REDDY Writ Petition No.26257 of 2008 ORDER: 1 Petitioner is an authorised fair price shop dealer for shop No.14 of Lakxmipuram Village of Challapalli Mandal in Krishna District. The Special Deputy Tahsildar, Public Distribution System, Movva, after making an inspection, on the ground that there are variations in stocks when the book balance is compared with the available ground stocks, submitted a report to the Joint Collector for initiation of proceedings under section 6-A of the Essential Commodities Act. Basing on the said report of the Special Deputy Tahsildar alleging variations in stocks and in view of the pendency of the proceedings under section 6-A of the Essential Commodities Act and further enquiring under the Andhra Pradesh Public Distribution System (Control) Order, 2001, the respondent i.e. Revenue Divisional Officer passed the impugned order suspending the authorisation of the petitioner. 2 At the time of admission, by order dated 02.12.2008 in W.P.M.P.No.34382 of 2008, this court granted interim order suspending the impugned order of suspension and the said order continued all along. 3 Though the Writ Petition is of the year 2008, no counter affidavit has been filed. As the impugned order is only an order of suspension pending enquiry, and the interim order passed by this court dated 02.12.2008 continued all along, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the Writ Petition directing the respondent authorities to complete the enquiry initiated under the provisions of the Andhra Pradesh Public Distribution System Control Order 2001, if not already completed as on today, as expeditiously as possible, preferably, within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. Further, the impugned order of suspension dated 05.10.2008 issued in R.C.No.C.1239/2008 issued by the respondent shall remain suspended till completion of such enquiry. It is made clear that if the enquiry is already completed, there is no need to initiate any fresh proceedings. 4 Subject to the above direction, this Writ Petition is disposed of. No costs. ------------------------ R.Subhash Reddy, J. 18.10.2011 Kvsn
