He invited our attention to paragraph No.1 of the operative portion of the order dated 9th March, 2011 and submitted that the District Supply Officer was in fact directed to consider petitioner’s application for renewal of Fair Price Shop licence within a period of “six weeks” and not “six months”, as recorded in the order. ( 2 ) WP 1653/11 Learned A.G.P. also supports the contention. In view thereof, the first paragraph of the operative portion of the order, dated 9th March, 2011, stands modified as under : “The District Supply Officer, Aurangabad, shall consider the petitioner’s application for renewal of Fair Price Shop licence as expeditiously as possible and preferably within a period of six weeks from the date of receipt of this order in accordance with Law.” We make it clear that the period of six weeks shall commence from the date of receipt of this order and not from the order dated 9th March, 2011. The order dated 9th March, 2011 is accordingly modified only to this extent. 2. Office is directed to issue fresh copy to the parties after carrying out modification in the order, as above. ( A. V.
