THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE GODA RAGHURAM WRIT PETITION NO.26751 OF 2006 Between : P.Rama Devi wife of Prabhakar Reddy … Petitioner And The District(Cs) Collector, Warangal and others … Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE GODA RAGHURAM WRIT PETITION NO.26751 OF 2006 ORAL ORDER: The petitioner’s authorization as fair price shop dealer in Mecharajupalli village Nellikuduru Mandal was suspended, under clause. 5(5) of the A.P.S.P.D.S(Control) Order,2001, by the order of the 3rd respondent dated.30-11-2005. Proceedings under Sec.6-A of the Essential Commodities Act,1955, were also initiated and the 2nd respondent passed an order on 22-05-2006 directing confiscation of 100% of the seized stock. There against the petitioner preferred an appeal to the District Judge. As against the order of suspension pending enquiry passed by the 3rd respondent, the petitioner preferred an appeal to the 2nd respondent on 09-12-2005. The petitioner’s grievance is that neither has the appeal dated.09-12-2005 been disposed of nor the application for interim relief filed therewith. The first anniversary of the appeal is over. The appeal is directed against an order of suspension of an authorization. Such an appeal presents no complexity warranting pendency for over a year before the 2nd respondent-a quasi- judicial authority. In the circumstances the writ petition is disposed of directing the 2nd respondent to consider and dispose of the appeal dated.09-12-2005 preferred by the revision petitioner against the 3rd respondent’s order dated.30-11-2005 (suspending his authorization) within one (1) week, (if not already disposed of), from the date of receipt of a copy of this Order. The 2nd respondent shall dispose of the main appeal recording reasons for the conclusion and shall communicate the decision to the petitioner within the aforesaid period without fail, demur or procrastination. In the circumstances there shall be no order as to costs. _________________ GODA RAGHURAM,J 22nd JANUARY 2007 *TSNR
