WP(C) 2817/2007 BEFORE THE HON’BLE MR JUSTICE B. P. KATAKEY Heard Mr A Sarma, learned counsel for the petitioner, and Mr G Soren, learned St ate counsel, appearing for the respondent Nos.1 to 6. The grievance of the petitioner, in present petition, is that though ini tially vide order dated 14 June 2004 the Sub-Divisional Officer(Civil), Kaliabor , had suspended the licence issued in his favour under the provisions of the Ass am Public Distribution Articles Order 1982 (in short, the 1982 Order), such susp ension has subsequently been revoked by the order dated 19 December 2006. Accord ing to him, despite the order of revocation and subsequent renewal of the licenc e, no orders allotting the PDS articles and SK Oil have been passed. It has also been contended by learned counsel for the petitioner that on 18 January 2007 he filed a representation before the SDO(C) ventilating his grievances, which has also not been attended to till the filing of the instant writ petition. He, ther efore, prays that necessary directions be issued to the respondent authorities t o allot/release the PDS articles, SK Oil under the licence issued for that purpo se. No affidavit-in-opposition has been filed, although the respondent Nos.1 to 6 have been served. It appears from the materials made available on record that the order of suspension dated 14 June 2004 passed by the SDO(C), Kaliabor, has subsequently been revoked by the said authority by the order dated 19 December 2006 with a fu rther direction to renew the licence granted to the petitioner under the provisi ons of 1982 Order. According to petitioner, despite the revocation of suspension and subsequent renewal thereof, no allotment of the PDS articles under the lice nce has been granted. It is also the case of the petitioner that though he filed a representation on 10 January 2007, the same has not been disposed of till dat e. Though the petitioner has claimed the licence granted to him under the p rovisions of 1982 Order was renewed till the filing of this writ petition, nothi ng is discernible whether such licence is still valid, as nothing has been place d on record to that effect. Without ascertaining that aspect of the matter, no d irection, as prayed for, can be issued to the respondents. That being the position, the present petition is disposed of with a dire ction to the Sub-Divisional Officer(Civil), Kaliabor, to dispose of, by a speaki ng order, the representation dated 10 January 2007 (Annexure-5) filed by the pet itioner by taking into account as to whether the licence issued in favour of the petitioner is still valid. In case such representation is not available on thei r record, the SDO(C) shall take into the record the annexure-5 annexed to the wr it petition, which shall be submitted by the petitioner along with a certified c opy of this order before the SDO(C). The entire exercise is directed to be completed within a period of two m onths from the day when the certified copy of this order together with a copy of the writ petition is submitted by the petitioner before the said authority. Nee dless to say, prior to passing any orders, the respondent No.7 shall also be hea rd. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of. No costs.
