THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.RAMULU WRIT PETITION NO.8198 OF 2005 DATE:07th September 2006 Between: G.V.R.Nageswara Rao, S/o Suryanarayana Murthy, Hindu, aged 38 years, Occ: F.P.Shop Dealer, Kakinada, E.G.District. … Petitioner. And 1. The Joint Collector (Civil Supplies Wing) Kakinada, E.G.District and another. … Respondents. * * * ORDER: The only grievance of the petitioner is that the respondents initiated action under Section 6-A of the Essential Commodities Act on the ground that the petitioner committed certain irregularities; and thereafter they have stopped issuing essential commodities for distribution in the fair price shop. Under those circumstances he had approached this Court and filed writ petition No.13462 of 2004 earlier. The said writ petition was allowed directing the respondents to continue the supply of essential commodities, to the petitioner so long as the petitioner’s authorization is not suspended or cancelled. According to the petitioner even as of today he is continuing as fair price shop dealer and distributing the commodities. In the meanwhile, in view of 6-A proceedings the petitioner was asked orally by the respondent No.2 to deposit an amount equivalent to the value of the seized stock of 19 quintals 66 Kilograms of rice on 23.7.2004. 2. While admitting the writ petition the respondents were directed not to insist on payment of money for the value of seized stock of rice of 19 quintals 66 kilograms until further orders. In view of the above and also in view of passage of time, I am of the opinion that it would be suffice if the petitioner is directed to give undertaking before concerned authority for payment of value of the rice of 19 quintals 66 kilograms, which is the subject matter of 6-A proceedings on their conclusion and attaining finality. 3. With the above direction, the writ petition is disposed of. No order as to costs. _________________ C.V.RAMULU, J. Date: 07th September 2006. BSB
