WP(C) 4012/2009 BEFORE THE HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE B.P. KATAKEY Heard Mr. Hussain, learned counsel for the petitioners as well as Mr. P. Roy, learned State counsel appearing for the respondents. The grievance of the petitioners in the present petition is that though the licences under the provisions of Assam Public Distribution of Articles Order , 1982 were issued in their favour as hawkers of S.K. Oil, the respondent author ities since the month of January, 2007 till date has not release any S.K. Oil. The petitioners have annexed a copy of the licence issued by the licenci ng authority under the 1982 Control Order in favour of the petitioner No.1, wher efrom it appears that the said licence was renewed up to March, 2008. With a vie w to ascertain as to whether the said licence has been renewed and still valid, this Court vide order dated 07.04.2011 directed the petitioners to file affidavi t relating to the validity of the licences issued enclosing therewith the proof thereof, for which 3(three) weeks time was granted. No affidavit, however, has b een filed by any of the writ petitioners pursuant to the said order dated 07.04. 2011. That being the position, it is not possible to ascertain as to whether t he licence issued in favour of the petitioner No.1 has subsequently been renewed or not and still valid. No copy of the licences issued in favour of the other p etitioners has also been annexed to the writ petition. In view of the above, the present writ petition is disposed of directing the Deputy Commissioner, Nagaon to cause verification of the issuance and conti nuance of the licences in favour of the petitioners and if such licences were is sued and still valid, necessary order relating to the allotment of the S.K. Oil shall be passed, upon consideration of all relevant facts. The said exercise is directed to be completed within a period of 2(two) months from the date of produ ction of the certified copy of the order passed today by any of the petitioners before the said authority. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of.
