IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.14568 of 2006 RAM CHANDRA DAS Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 2 04.07.2008 It is the contention of the learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner that the order dated 10.04.2006 passed by the Sub divisional Officer, Madhepura contained in Annexure-12 is without any application of mind to the facts in issue. Petitioner has brought on record the order passed by the High Court dated 19.04.2007. By virtue of which the criminal proceedings initiated against him in G.R.Case No.280 of 2006 has been quashed. If this is the position then it cannot be the ground for cancellation of the license. The matter requires reconsideration. The writ application stands allowed. The order contained in Annexure 12 dated 24.07.2007 is quashed with a direction upon the Sub divisional Officer that he shall consider issuing license in favour of petitioner afresh, in view of the fact that there is no criminal proceeding 2 pending against him as is evident from Annexure-13 as well as 14 on record. Petitioner has a liberty to bring the material along with the copy of this order to the knowledge of the Sub divisional Magistrate for the needful. The Sub divisional Officer shall also expedite the order within three months from the date of production of a copy of this order. Mkr. (Ajay Kumar Tripathi, J.)
