HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE T.SUNIL CHOWDARY WRIT PETITION No.33864 OF 2016 ORDER:

This writ petition is filed under Article 226 of the Constitution of India seeking a writ of Mandamus declaring the orders passed by the third respondent in A.C.D.DisNo.35/ 2015-S7, dated 27.07.2016 as illegal and arbitrary.

2.

Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Civil Supplies (Andhra Pradesh) representing the respondents 1 to 5.

3.

A perusal of the record reveals that the petitioner was appointed as Fair Price Shop Dealer in respect of Shop No.15 of Konaphalam village, Nizampatnam Mandal, Guntur District, in the year 1990. It is the case of the petitioner that he has been distributing the essential commodities to the Card Holders without any complaint whatsoever for all these years. While so, on 31.10.2015 the fourth respondent cancelled the authorization of the petitioner vide proceedings in Rc.No.3452/ 2014/ F, dated 31.10.2015. Feeling aggrieved by the orders of the fourth respondent, the petitioner filed appeal before the third respondent - Joint Collector. The third respondent after affording a reasonable opportunity to both the parties, dismissed the appeal on 27.07.2016. Feeling aggrieved by the orders of the third

respondent, the petitioner filed revision before the second respondent on 19.09.2016 and the same is pending. 4.

At the time of arguments, the only relief sought by the petitioner is to direct the second respondent to dispose of the revision filed by the petitioner as expeditiously as possible. Learned Assistant Government Pleader also consented for the same.

5.

In view of the submissions made by both the counsel, this Court is not inclined to go into the merits of the main case. If this Court expresses any opinion touching the merits of the main case, the same may cause prejudice to one of the parties to the revisional proceedings.

6.

Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case and also the submissions made by both the counsel, the second respondent is hereby directed to dispose of the revision filed by the petitioner as expeditiously as possible, preferably, within a period of six weeks from the date of receipt of copy of this order. 7.

With the above direction, the writ petition is disposed of. As a sequel, miscellaneous petitions pending, if any, in this writ petition shall stand closed.
