2 34 S.B. CIVIL WRIT PETITION NO.8456/2009. Harish Vs. District Excise Officer & Anr. Date of Order :: 11th September 2009. HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE DINESH MAHESHWARI Mr. Sunil Mehta, for the petitioner. Mr. Sunil Bhandari for Mr. M.R. Singhvi, for the respondents. ... BY THE COURT: Having heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and having perused the material placed on record, this Court is unable to find any reason to entertain this writ petition against the order dated 17.08.2009 (Annex.5) as passed by the District Excise Officer, Nagaur cancelling the license granted to the petitioner with forfeiture of the security essentially after being satisfied that illicit liquor was found stored at the licensed shop. The order as passed by the District Excise Officer is clearly an appealable order under Section 9-A of the Rajasthan Excise Act, 1950. On being posed the question as to why the petitioner has not taken resort to the statutory remedy of appeal, learned counsel for the petitioner submits that after passing of the impugned order (Annex.5), the Excise 2 Officer was going to allot the shop in question to some other person on 20.08.2009 and, therefore, the petitioner approached this Court by way of this writ petition. The submissions as made hardly give out any justification for the petitioner not taking resort to the specific alternative remedy available under the statute. There appears no reason to entertain this writ petition. Exercise of writ jurisdiction is refused in this matter; and the writ petition stands rejected. (DINESH MAHESHWARI), J. //Mohan//
