Simultaneously, the third respondent issued show cause notice on 12.06.2015 for the

The Joint Collector, Srikakulam, also issued show cause notice to the petitioner on 23.6.2015 and 6-A proceedings are pending. Though the authorization of the petitioner is subsisting and in force, no stock was released to the petitioner's FP shop for the month of June, 2015. Questioning the same, the present Writ Petition is filed. The learned Counsel for the petitioner submits that no stock of essential commodities for the month of June, 2015 is released to the petitioner's FP Shop despite the authorization is subsisting as of today and no action was taken by the third respondent pursuant to the show cause.
