JUJSTICE DALIP SINGH Shri A.K. Sharma, Shri Vishnu Kant Sharma, for the petitioner. Shri R.B. Mathur, Shri Amit Ratnawat, for the respondent. The main grievance which has been raised by the petitioner is in respect of the order of cancellation of his license vide order dated 9.5.2008 (Annexure-5). As a consequence of the same the petitioner does not hold a valid license for running a liquor shop. The remedy against the order of cancellation of the license is by way of an appeal under Section 9A which may be filed against the order of the District Excise Officer who has passed the impugned order. In view of the fact that the petitioner has a statutory alternative remedy available against the cancellation of his license the writ petition under Article 226 of the Constitution of India is not maintainable. In the facts and circumstances liberty is granted to the petitioner to approach the appellate authority by means of an appeal against the impugned order. The petitioner shall be entitled to seek condonation of delay on account of the pendency of the present writ petition in filing the appeal against the impugned order in case such appeal is preferred by the petitioner. It is expected that the learned appellate authority would decide the said appeal expeditiously and preferably within a period of 60 days of the filing of the same. The Registry is directed to return the copy of the impugned order to the learned counsel for the petitioner to enable the petitioner to file an appeal after retaining photo stat copy of the same on record. In view of the above, the interim order stands vacated. These writ petitions are accordingly dismissed summarily on the ground of statutory alternative remedy. (DALIP SINGH),J. Ramchandrkhatri,PS
