Pursuant to a complaint given by cardholders, the Deputy Tahsildar (Civil Supplies), Prathipadu conducted an enquiry on 18.08.1993. This led to framing of three charges of contravention of the control order. The petitioner was asked to show cause as to why the authorization should not be cancelled. By another proceeding, dated 26.09.1993 and having regard to the serious allegations, the authorization was suspended until further orders, pending enquiry. This order is assailed in the Writ Petition. Though the Writ Petition was admitted by this Court on 07.12.1994, the orders of suspension were neither stayed nor suspended. When the matter is called, the learned Government Pleader for Civil Supplies, Sri P.Lakshma Reddy submits that the enquiry against the petitioner was completed and his authorization was cancelled on 10.05.1994. In that view of the matter, this Writ Petition has become infructuous. The Writ Petition is dismissed accordingly. 23rd June 2004 RRB ASSISTANT REGISTRAR //True Copy// SECTION OFFICER Copies To: 1.
