IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA MJC No 2899 of 2010 ARBIND KUMAR Versus STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 2 10.11.2010 Petitioner states that the suspension of certificate of registration for dealing in fertiliser of the petitioner was stayed in the writ petition. Petitioner applied for renewal of his certificate of registration which is not being granted on the ground that the matter being subjudiced before this Court, renewal cannot be granted. In my view, once the suspension of certificate of registration was stayed by this Court, in law, it is deemed that there is no suspension and if that be so, the petitioner is entitled to renewal of his certificate of registration without any order of this Court. Business cannot be stopped by the authorities on any such lame pretext. If it is so admitted, it would surely be contemptuous. In that view of the matter, this application is disposed of with the direction to the District Agriculture Officer, Darbhanga to ensure that the business of the petitioner is carried out uninterruptedly and due renewals are granted immediately not later than 15 days from the date of production of a copy of this order.
