RULE SERVED for Respondent(s) : 4 - 5. ========================================================= CORAM : HONOURABLE MR.JUSTICE M.C.PATEL Date : 03/07/2006 ORAL JUDGMENT It appears that the Collector had cancelled fair price shop authorisation of the respondent no.4 Society and forfeited the stock of Kerosene, rice and SCA/7791/1997 2/2 JUDGMENT wheat which had been seized earlier. The Secretary, Civil Supplies Department, partly allowed the appeal preferred by the respondent no.4 and set aside the Collector's order of cancelling the authorisation and reduced the quantity of kerosene, rice and wheat which had been ordered to be forfeited. The petitioners were members of the Society and they have filed this petition challenging the order of the Government. Mr. Baiju Joshi, the learned counsel for the petitioner states that there are no instructions from the petitioners in spite of a number of communications sent to them. It appears that the petitioners are not interested in prosecuting the petition. There is no reason to interfere with the impugned order after so many years. The petition is, therefore, dismissed. Rule discharged. ( M.C. Patel, J. ) hki
