The petitioner was appointed a permanent fair price shop dealer for shop No.1243007 of Gandalapenta Village & Mandal, Sri Satya Sai District, vide proceedings in RC.No.419/86/B dated 12.09.1986. Since the date of his appointment the petitioner has been distributing the essential commodities without there being any complaints whatsoever. 3. While the matter stood thus, the 5th respondent submitted a report dated 06.05.2025 to the 3rd respondent for initiating disciplinary action as against the petitioner on the ground that there was variation of stock for the month of May, 2025. Pursuant to the said report, the 3rd respondent issued a show cause notice dated 27.05.2025 to the petitioner, calling for explanation from the petitioner within seven (7) days. Pursuant to which, the petitioner has submitted a detailed explanation on 02.06.2025, denying the allegations of the 3rd respondent. Thereafter, the 3rd respondent, after conducting detailed 4 VS,J W.P.No.24826 of 2025 enquiry, passed orders, directing the 4th respondent herein to re-appoint the petitioner as permanent fair price shop dealer on humanitarian grounds vide RC.No.291/F/2025 dated 11.07.2025. 4. The grievance of the petitioner is that, in spite of there being a specific direction by the 3rd respondent to the 4th respondent herein i.e., the Tahsildar to re-appoint the petitioner, till date no action has been initiated by the 4th respondent. 5. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Civil Supplies representing the respondents. 6. Learned Assistant Government Pleader for Civil Supplies has furnished a copy of the instructions of the 4th respondent herein, wherein, the 4th respondent has admitted the facts, as stated by the petitioner and as well as the proceedings of the 3rd respondent vide RC.No.291/F/2025 dated 11.07.2025, wherein, he was directed to re-appoint the petitioner as a permanent fair price shop dealer. But, however, has stated that there is some delay in implementing the said orders of the 3rd respondent, as the petitioner did not approach his office for resumption of operations. 7. In view of the above said facts, as there was already a direction from the 3rd respondent to the 4th respondent vide R.C.No.291/F/2025 dated 11.07.2025 to re-appoint the petitioner as a permanent fair price shop dealer, instead of going into merits, this Court deems it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition, directing the 4th respondent to implement the orders passed by 5 VS,J W.P.No.24826 of 2025 the 3rd respondent vide R.C.No.291/F/2025 dated 11.07.2025, as expeditiously as possible, preferably, within a period of two (2) weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. 8. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs. As a sequel, Interlocutory Applications pending, if any, shall stand closed __________________ JUSTICE V.SUJATHA Dated: 16.09.2025 MDP
