THE SUPERINTENDENT OF POLICE, ROHTAS. 6. THE OFFICER-IN-CHARGE, KARGAHAR, DISTRICT-ROHTAS. 7. THE OFFICER-IN-CHARGE, KOCHAS, DISTRICT-ROHTAS. -RESPONDENTS 4 05.02.2009 Petitioners had arms licence. By order, as contained in Memo. dated 28.2.2004 (Annenxure-1 series), 2 their licences have been suspended and they were given an opportunity to show cause as to why those licences be not cancelled. As the petitioners have come against the order suspending the licences and issuance of show cause notices, I am not inclined to enter into the merit of the case. Mr. S. Alamdar Hussain, appearing on behalf of the petitioners, states that till date the District Magistrate has not passed final order revoking the licences. Petitioners filing the show cause within two weeks from today, the respondent no.2, District Magistrate, Patna, shall pass final order on the issue of revocation of licences, if already not taken, within three months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order. I order accordingly. The application stands disposed of with the directions aforesaid. (C.K. Prasad, ACJ.) AAhmad
