IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Civil Writ Jurisdiction Case No.14410 of 2007 Shiv Kumar Yadav, son of Sri Ganga Prasad Yadav, resident of Village- Pakilpar, at present Panchayat Haripur Kala, P.S. Murliganj, District- Madhepura. . . . . Petitioner. Versus 1. The State Of Bihar through the District Magistrate, Madhepura. 2. Sub-Divisional officer, Madhepura. 3. Block Supply Officer, Murliganj, District- Madhepura. 4. Supply Inspector, Murliganj, District- Madhepura. . .Respondents. For the Petitioner : Mr. Uday Chand Prasad, Advocate. ---------------------------------- 2/ 14.11.2011 The petitioner, who was a licensee under the Bihar Trade Articles (Licenses Unification) Order, 1984. He was issued license bearing license no.1/1987. On instruction of Sub- Divisional Officer, Madhepura, the Block Supply Officer, Murliganj made an enquiry on 19.01.2006. In course of inspection, the Block Supply Officer, Murliganj found that Kerosene Oil has been distributed after three months and that in the last one year, the food-grains relating to Antoday Scheme was distributed only once and that too at rates higher than one prescribed. The Block Supply Officer, Murliganj further reported that some beneficiaries have also made complaints against the behaviour of the petitioner. Learned counsel submits that the Sub-Divisional Officer, Madhepura suspended the license on 28.01.2006 and cancelled it on 24.07.2007. The petitioner submits that the Marketing Officer and Additional District Supply Officer made recommendation for revoking the suspension order. He submits that the license has been cancelled by the Sub-Divisional 2 Officer, Madhepura at the behest of Collector, Madhepura. It would appear from the impugned order that the license has been cancelled at the direction of the appellate authority, namely the Collector, Madhepura. In view of the above, I remit the matter to Sub- Divisional Officer, Madhepura for considering the matter afresh after giving due show-cause notice to the petitioner. With the aforesaid direction, the impugned order dated 24.07.2007 (Annexure-5) is kept in abeyance. This application stands disposed of. Uday/ (Samarendra Pratap Singh, J.)
