IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.5394 of 2009 BINOD PASWAN & ANR Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 2. 28.04.2009 Heard learned Counsel for the petitioners and the learned Counsel for the State. The petitioners are aggrieved by cancellation of their appointment as Panchayat Teacher. The ground for cancellation is that they retained their Public Distribution System licence for three/four years even after appointment as Teachers which was not permissible. Learned Counsel for the petitioners submits that no sooner that they were appointed as Panchayat Teacher they gave due intimation for cancellation of their licence. Any delay by the authorities in cancellation of the licence cannot prejudice case of the petitioners. There is no pleading in the writ application that after having been appointed as Panchayat Teacher and having made an application for cancellation of the licence, the petitioners locked up their Public Distribution System shops. In other words, the petitioners continued to operate their Public Distribution System licence shop in the garb of having allegedly submitted an application for cancellation of the licence. The petitioner cannot have their cake and eat it. They alone are answerable for their predicament today. There is no merit in this writ application. It is accordingly dismissed.
