IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.1806 of 2006 SANJAY KUMAR, son of late Arjun Prasad Singh, resident of Village- Rawaich, P.S. Bakhtiyarpur, District – Patna ----------------- Petitioner Versus 1. THE STATE OF BIHAR 2. The Sub-divisional Officer, Barh, Patna. 3. A.D.S.O., Barh, District – Patna. 4. Marketing Officer, Bakhtiyarpur, District- Patna. ----------- 02. 14.01.2009 By an identical decision licences of 4 PDS dealers were ordered to be cancelled which included the case of the present petitioner. Learned counsel for the petitioner has brought to my notice some orders passed in other writ applications including order dated 4.7.2008 passed in the case of Rana Rang Bahadur Singh. Since the case of the petitioner is no different and with a categorical assertion that cancellation order of the licence was without any opportunity of hearing to the petitioner, the impugned order cancelling the licence is hereby set aside. The matter is remanded back to the licensing authority for giving an opportunity of hearing to the petitioner who shall appear within one month before the authority and shall file show cause in the matter. The writ application stands disposed of with the above direction. rkp (Ajay Kumar Tripathi, J)
