1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE FOR RAJASTHAN AT JODHPUR O R D E R S.B. CIVIL WRIT PETITION NO.5475/2008 (Ram Chandra Vs. State & Ors.) Date of order : 20.11.2008 HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE GOPAL KRISHAN VYAS Mr. Hemant Choudhary, for the petitioner. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner. It is contended by learned counsel for the petitioner that he was existing license holder of fair-price shop and license was issued in his favour by the District Supply Officer, Hanumangarh. Earlier his license was cancelled but upon appeal before the Food Commissioner, the cancellation order was set aside and license was restored and in pursuance of that, Annexure-P/4 was passed by the District Collector and at present the petitioner is pursuing his business of fair-price shop. The grievance of the petitioner is that vide Annexure-2, the Disrict Collector (supply), Hanumangarh is going to open another fair-price shop whereas he is existing license holder of fair price shop, therefore, no new fair price shop can be opened 2 in view of the fact that he is existing license holder in the area in question. I have perused Annexure-2. Upon perusal, it is clear that the Government has decided to grant additional license for fair price shop without disturbing the existing license holder. In my opinion such an action of the State Government is proper for proper distribution of essential commodities. It is stated in Annexure-2 as well as in the reply by the respondents that they are not disturbing the petitioner's license and the petitioner can pursue his business in view of the fact that appeal was allowed against the cancellation order. In this view of the matter, the contention of the learned counsel for the petitioner is totally unfounded that his license for fair price shop will be cancelled or he will not be allowed to pursue his business. In this view of the matter, no order is required in this case as respondent – State is going to open additional fair price shop, which is permissible under the Government decision. Accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed. (GOPAL KRISHAN VYAS), J.
