Respondents. ----------- 2/ 22.11.2011 The petitioner, who is a P.D.S. dealer within Makhdumpur Block in the district of Jehanabad, prays for quashing Memo no.53 dated 28.10.2010 passed by the Sub- Divisional Officer, Jehanabad, whereby the P.D.S. license of the petitioner bearing no.63 of 2007 has been suspended. The petitioner submits that even recommendation was made for revocation of suspension. In spite of that, suspension order has continued up till now. The petitioner submits that suspension order can not remain in vogue for more than 90 days. Counsel for the State submits that if materials are available, petitioner’s license even be cancelled. It appears that no further show-cause has been given for cancellation of license. In such circumstances, the suspension of P.D.S. license is bad. More so, recommendation for revoking the same was made, as would appear from the report submitted by the Joint Enquiry Committee, as contained in Annexure-10. Accordingly, respondent no.4 is directed to give further show-cause notice to the petitioner and upon filing of show-cause by the petitioner, he / she will pass an appropriate 2 order in accordance with law. With the aforesaid observation, this application is disposed of. Uday/ (Samarendra Pratap Singh, J.)
