IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.12596 of 2007 OM PRAKASH MAHATO Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 2 07.07.2008 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State. Petitioner is aggrieved by the suspension of his license contained in Annexure – 1 dated 27.08.2003, his suspension was based on the background that a case under section 7 of E.C. Act was instituted against him. Submission of learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner is that by passage of time under Clause 11 of the Bihar Trade Articles (Licenses Unification), the suspension of license cannot continue beyond 90 days in this regard. He brings to my notice one of the earliest decision reported in 1987 PLJR Page – 1150, in the case of Punsraj Begawani & Another Versus The State or Bihar. In that view of the matter, petitioner occupied the field till the law has undergone a change in the year 2007, since the case of the petitioner is prior to the amendment. The respondents are directed to revive the license of the petitioner, if in the meanwhile, the same has not been cancelled by any other order in this regard. The writ application is allowed.
