IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No 460 of 2009 Iftekhar Alam son of late Wakil Ahmad, resident of village - Brinda Ban Tola - Takia, P S : Uchkagaon, Dist : Gopalganj - Petitioner Versus 1 The State of Bihar 2 The District Magistrate, Gopalganj 3 The Subdivisional Magistrate, Gopalganj - Respondents ----------- 3 12.02.2009 The petitioner is a distributor under Public Distribution System and in course thereof, he is required to deliver foodgrains on Government account to people below the poverty line (BPL). Enquiries were made by District Administration and large number of people, who were below poverty line, complained that they had with them monthly coupons to show that they had not been regularly supplied with foodgrains. On this enquiry report being submitted, petitioner was issued a show cause notice and the enquiry report was disclosed to him. He replied stating that those people who earlier had deposed against the petitioner have now sworn affidavit that they have been supplied the foodgrains and they have now deposited their coupons. Rejecting the defence, the Subdivisional Officer-cum-Licensing Officer cancelled the licence of the petitioner and the same was not interfered in appeal. In my view, no question of law arises in the present case. The issue is settled by the concurrent findings and there is no occasion for this Court to take a different view of the matter. I may only mention 2 that the very fact that the consumers subsequently gave affidavits having given coupons later on shows that it is an afterthought. This writ application is dismissed.
