The petitioner is aggrieved by Annexure-2 which is order passed by the District Magistrate by which he has kept in abeyance the matter of renewal of the petitioner’s license due to the fact that he was involved in a criminal case in which he was also put under custody.

The complaint of the petitioner is that subsequently vide memo no. 749 dated 30.10.2009 the license of Kanhiya Singh has been renewed and suspension order has been revoked. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner’s case is similar to that of Kanhiya Singh and as such he should be given the same treatment and his suspension order should also be revoked. Learned counsel for the State cannot explain the circumstances under which Kanhaiya Singh’s suspension of license was revoked by the S.D.O., Hathua. It may be that Kanhaiya Singh was not sent up for trial or that he was able to satisfy the authorities regarding his bona fides. 2 Whatever be the reason, this fact should be brought to the notice to the S.D.O., Hathua by the petitioner by filing a representation within a period of one month of the receipt of a copy of the order.
