4. From perusal of the same, it is clear that no findings whatsoever has been recorded by the respondent no.4 while rejecting the application for grant of interim relief. It is settled law by the Hon'ble Apex Court in the case of Rayat Shikshan Sanstha Vs. Suneel Shiva Gaikwad reported in (2010) 15 SCC 539 that while granting or rejecting injunction recording of reasons is mandatory. This fact is also admitted by the counsel appearing on behalf of respondents. 5. In this view of the matter and also in the interest of justice, present writ petition is disposed of finally directing the respondent no.4-Deputy Commissioner (Food), Agra Division, Agra to pass fresh order on the application for grant of interim relief filed by the petitioner expeditiously and preferably within a period of eight weeks from today. 6. A mandamus is issued to the respondents to permit the petitioner to run his fair price shop for a period of two months or till the decision on the application for grant of interim relief, whichever is earlier. 7. It is made clear that any allotment made will be subject to the final outcome of the decision taken by the respondent no.4.
