THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE R.SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No.17371 of 2010 ORDER: In this writ petition, petitioner questioned the proceedings bearing No.K/3355/2010, dated 03.06.2010 issued by the first respondent. By the aforesaid proceedings, the fair price shop authorization granted to the petitioner for distribution of kerosene oil under the provisions of the Andhra Pradesh State Public Distribution System (Control) Order, 2008, was suspended pending enquiry. A perusal of the said proceedings shows that the only allegation levelled against the petitioner is that there is a variation of 142 liters of kerosene oil in comparing the book balance with the ground balance. Though it is the case of the petitioner that there are some clerical mistakes occurred in recording entries in the books, the same is a matter for enquiry and that in view of trivial and technical nature of allegation, the authorities should not have issued the proceedings suspending his fair price shop authorisation. On the very same allegation, a show cause notice was issued to him and it is stated that the explanation has already been filed. Although the respondents are empowered to issue proceedings suspending the fair price shop authorisation, this Court is of the view that having regard to the nature of allegation, which is technical, is a matter for enquiry but the same should not have been the reason for suspending the authorisation of the petitioner. In view of the fact that the show cause notice was already issued to the petitioner and enquiry is in progress, I deem it appropriate to set aside the proceedings bearing No.K/3355/2010, dated 03.06.2010 by directing the first respondent to complete the enquiry pursuant to the show cause notice, dated 03.06.2010, as expeditiously as possible. It is needless to observe that during pendency of the enquiry proceedings, the petitioner is entitled to supply of kerosene oil for distribution of the same to the cardholders as per the authorisation granted to him. Subject to the above directions, the writ petition is disposed of. No order as to costs. ______________________ R.SUBHASH REDDY, J 21st JULY, 2010. Note: issue c.c. in two (2) days. kvni
