Hyderabad, July 21 : The AP High Court on Monday imposed costs on Chittoor District Collector over dismissing a revision without citing any reason for dismissal.
Justice Goda Raghuram while dealing with a writ petition filed by Ms G Bhaskaramma native of Chittor district challenging the dismissal of her revision petition, observed that the officer concerned required training to have a better knowledge on the rules and laws of administration.
The petitioner informed the court that she had applied for dealership of a ration shop in Patagunta village of Chittoor district and the same was rejected by the Tahsildar.
She challenged the rejection order before the RDO, Joint Collector and it was dismissed by the officers without citing any valid reasons.
Later when she approached the collector it was also dismissed without going into the facts of the case.
Mr WB Srinivas, counsel for civil supplies, strongly objected the imposing costs on the official and argued that the order was passed in accordance withthe law.
However in another case Justice Raghuram took a serious view over Karimnagar district collector failing in implementation of an order passedby the court on June 26.
The court directed that the district collector release petrol and diesel seized from Maruthi Filling Station, Alganur village after the petitioner furnished a bank guarantee of Rs 15,33,163.
The court also directed that respondents should not interfere in the business of the petitioner, provided the petitioner continued to have a subsisting entitlement for pursuing such business.
Mr M Ramakrishna Rao, proprietor of the filling station, filed the contempt case against the collector alleging that the official did handed over the keys of station despite of furnishing the bank guarantee on June 30.
The court directed the counsel for civil supplies to inform the court reasons for not handing over the keys to the petitioner by Tuesday.
