Mr.R.P.Sabban for the petitioner. CORAM CORAM CORAM : BILAL NAZKI & : BILAL NAZKI & : BILAL NAZKI & S.S.SHINDE, S.S.SHINDE, S.S.SHINDE, JJ., JJ., JJ., DATED DATED DATED : JUNE 12, 2008. : JUNE 12, 2008. : JUNE 12, 2008. P.C. P.C. P.C. 1. The grievance of the petitioner is that he was granted licence to sell non-judicial and judicial stamps at the "Collector Compound, Solapur". But thereafter in the year 2000, the licence issued was amended to the extent that the petitioner could sell the stamps only from his residence. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that this order was passed without any notice to the petitioner. The 2 respondents have not filed any counter affidavit. Nobody appears for them. We are not sure whether any notice was given to the petitioner before this order was passed. The impugned order has been passed in 2000. The writ petition is filed in 2002. The petitioner is running his business from his residence for last eight years. Therefore, it will not be proper at this stage to quash the order. But we give liberty to the petitioner to move the representation before the District Collector of Stamp, Solapur who may consider his request and pass appropriate orders in accordance with law after hearing the petitioner and keeping in view the fact that allegedly the earlier order on the impugned notice was passed behind his back. He shall pass the orders within three months of the representation having been made before him. The petition is accordingly disposed of.
