WP(C) 6105/2010 BEFORE HON’BLE THE CHIEF JUSTICE MR.MADAN B. LOKUR The grievance of the petitioner is that the order of suspension passed o n 29th June, 2010 whereby the licence of the petitioner for lifting and distribu tion of PDS/TPDS articles is illegal. It is submitted by learned counsel that before suspension of the licence , the petitioner ought to have been given a hearing. Learned counsel has not sub stantiated his contention by reference to any statute or by any case law. That apart, on the same date i.e. 29th June, 2010, a show cause notice w as given to the petitioner as to why his licence should not be cancelled for vio lations committed by the petitioner of Clause 26 of the Assam Public Distributio n of Articles Order, 1982 as well as the terms and condition 8.1 of the licence. Although learned counsel for the petitioner says that cause has been sho wn, there is nothing in the writ petition to suggest any cause having been shown . In any event, there is no error in law in suspending the licence of the petitioner since it is permissible under the provisions of Clause-15 of the Assa m Public Distribution of Articles Order, 1982. There is no merit in the writ petition. It is dismissed. However, the respondents are expected to dispose of the show cause notic e expeditiously if that has not already been done.
