IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.9961 of 2007 RAMESHWAR BHAGAT Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 2 27.10.2009. Heard learned counsel for the parties. It appears that the petitioner has straightway filed the instant writ petition on 7.8.2007 against order of S.D.O., Naugachia dated 31.3.2007 cancelling his PDS licence in stead of moving the learned Collector, Bhagalpur under section 28 of the Bihar Trade Articles (Licences Unification ) Order, 1984. The writ petition is disposed of with liberty to the petitioner to file an appeal before appellate authority as above. It would be open to the petitioner to plead before the appellate authority for condoning the delay as he was pursing his remedy before this Court since 2007. Needless to state that if the delay is condoned, the appellate authority would proceed to dispose of appeal on its own merit. Shashi. (Samarendra Pratap Singh,J).
