SPECIAL OFFICER, RATIONING, PATNA. ----------- 2 26.07.2011. Petitioners are the Thela vendors and they sell Kerosene oil form door to door. It appears that an enquiry was conducted and it was found that they were not keeping the sale register. Show cause was issued to them. The petitioners replied to the show cause, thereafter the impugned order dated 26.1.2011 as contained in Memo no. 31 was issued cancelling their licenses. The petitioners further submit that by a four line order the licensing authority has cancelled their license. The license has been cancelled on the direction of the Collector who is the appellate authority under the law. Counsel for the State seeks time to file counter 2 affidavit. From perusal of the impugned order it appears that the order has been passed at behest of the appellate authority. It further appears that the impugned order does not reflect any consideration of show-cause. As such, the impugned order 6.1.2011 issued by the Special officer, Rationing, Patna is set aside and the matter is remitted for taking necessary steps in accordance with law. The writ petition is thus allowed. Shashi. (Samarendra Pratap Singh, J.)
