The authorization of the petitioner, who claims to be the Fair Price Shop Dealer of Gallavandlapalli Village, Hamlet of Annaluru, Mydukur Mandal, Kadapa District, had been cancelled by the Revenue Divisional Officer, Jammalamadugu – second respondent herein through proceedings bearing No.Ref.B/297/2004, dated 17-01-200. Challenging the said cancellation of authorization, the petitioner had preferred an appeal before the Joint Collector, Kadapa – the first respondent herein and the same is pending. Along with the said appeal, an application was also said to have been filed seeking interim suspension of the cancellation of the authorization of the petitioner. So far, no orders have been passed, on the said application, by the appellate authority, which according to the learned counsel appearing for the petitioner, has been causing much hardship to the petitioner as well as the public. 3. Having regard to the facts and circumstances, suffice it to close the present writ petition with a direction to the respondents to pass appropriate orders, in accordance with law, on the application filed by the petitioner along with the appeal seeking interim suspension of the authorization of the petitioner, as expeditiously as possible, preferably within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. 4. Accordingly, the writ petition is closed, at the stage of admission. However, there shall be no order as to costs. ------------------------------- D.S.R.VARMA, J 15TH MARCH, 2005 ISN/KRK ASSISTANT REGISTRAR // TRUE COPY // SECTION OFFICER To 1) 2 CD copies Copy to: 1.The Joint Collector, Kadapa District, Kapada. 2.The Revenue Divisional officer, Jammalamadugu, Kadapa District. 3.
