This writ petition has been preferred by the petitioner being aggrieved by the order dated 29.06.2017 passed by the Sub-Divisional Officer (Revenue), Bemetara suspending the fair price shop of the petitioner. 2.

impugned order with utmost circumspection.

Be that as it may, the petitioner is at liberty to prefer an appeal before the Appellate Authority and to raise all such grounds before the Appellate Authority in accordance with law.
