IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.1901 of 2011 Mukesh Kumar Singh . Versus The State Of Bihar & Ors . 2 23.11.2011 The petitioner who is a P.D.S. dealer within Sakra block in the district of Muzaffarpur prays for quashing the order dated 8.2.2010 issued by the Subdivisional Officer (East), Muzaffarpur whereby his licence under Public Distribution System has been cancelled. The petitioner submits that earlier on same charge, his license was cancelled. He submits that both suspension as well as cancellation are some of the punishment prescribed under the Bihar Control Order, 2007. Further more once punishment of suspension is inflicted, there is no scope for the licensing authority to inflict further punishment of cancellation of licence. The petitioner in support of his submission relies upon a decision of this court dated 8.11.2010 passed in C.W.J.C.No.13914 of 2010(Ashgar Khan Vs State of Bihar) and its analogous cases. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that his appeal is pending before the Collector, Muzaffarpur and the charge leveled against him suffers from vagueness. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, I direct the Collector, Muzaffarpur to dispose of the appeal of the petitioner within a period of six months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order. It is made clear that this court has not gone into the 2 merit of this case. With the aforesaid observations and directions, this writ petition stands disposed of. KHAN (S.P. Singh,J)
