IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.10583 of 2008 Ram Lakhan Sao, Son of Ram Dayal Sao, Resident of Village Kokila Block and P.S. Jagdishpur, District Bhojpur. ---- Petitioner. Versus 1. The State Of Bihar through the Secretary, Food and Supply Department, Old Secretariat, Patna. 2. The Commissioner, Bihar, Patna. 3. The Collector-cum-District Magistrate, Bhojpur. 4. The Sub-divisional Officer, Jagdishpur, District Bhojpur. 5. The District Block Development Officer, Jagdishpur, District Bhojpur. ---- Respondents. ----------- 4 21.10.2011 Despite time given to the State to a counter affidavit, no counter affidavit has been filed. Learned counsel for the petitioner challenges Annexures 3 and 4 of the writ application. Annexure-3 is the order of the Sub-divisional Officer, Jagdishpur. It has been stated in the order that the petitioner had violated condition numbers 2(kha), 09, 05(II) and (III) and 07 of the licence and, therefore, his licence has been cancelled. The petitioner filed appeal before the Collector which was dismissed on the ground that it was delayed by 1½ years. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the order as contained in Annexure-3 which has been passed on merit of the claims of the petitioner is not a speaking order. The Sub-divisional Officer, Jagdishpur 2 in a perfunctory manner has cancelled the licence without considering whether there was sufficient evidence to indicate that the petitioner was not complying with the terms of the licence and distributing the food grains to the Red Card Holders and others who were entitled for the same. The orders impugned rely on the report received regarding the anomalies committed by the petitioner. The petitioner on the other hand has not produced his documents to show that he had infact distributed the food grains received by him as such, this Court finds no merit in this writ application. This writ application is dismissed. Sanjay (Sheema Ali Khan, J.)
