THE COLLECTOR, KATIHAR 3. THE DISTRICT SUPPLY OFFICER, KATIHAR 4. THE SUB-DIVISIONAL OFFICER, BARSOI, DISTT.- KATIHAR 5. THE BLOCK SUPPLY OFFICER, BARSOI, DISTT.- KATIHAR 6. THE MARKETING OFFICER, BARSOI, DISTT.- KATIHAR ----------- 02. 06.01.2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State. The grievance of the petitioner was against the suspension of his P.D.S. license on 3.1.2006 and continuation thereof despite recommendation for revocation dated 26.6.2006. A counter affidavit is stated to have been filed on behalf of respondents. Learned counsel is unable to furnish the date of filing. Let the office trace the counter affidavit and place it on record. Let a Zerox copy as suggested by the counsel for the State be kept on record. Paragraph-16 of the same states that the issue of suspension is still subjudice before the authority. Whether it be the application of Bihar Trade Licenses Unification Order 1984 or the Bihar Fair Price Control order 2007, the suspension of the license automatically lapses after 90 days unless issues of cancellation have arisen during that period. 2 On the own showing of the fact by the respondents, the order of suspension has lost its effect by operation of law after lapse of 90 days and the license has not been cancelled. The petitioner is entitled to resumption of supplies in accordance with law. The writ application stands allowed. P.K. ( Navin Sinha, J.)
