IN THE HIGH COURT OF UTTARAKHAND AT NAINITAL Writ Petition No.533 of 2007 (M/S) Mohd. Jafar ..… Petitioner Versus State of Uttarakhand & two others ….. Respondents Mr. Bharat Tiwari, Advocate for the petitioner Mr. N.P. Sah, Standing Counsel for the respondents Hon’ble B.S. Verma, J. By means of this writ petition, the petitioner has sought a writ in the nature of certiorari for quashing the orders dated 10.1.2007 and 7.3.2007 passed by District Supply Officer, Udham Singh Nagar (respondent no.3) and the Commissioner, Kumaon Division, Nainital (respondent no.2). Briefly stated facts of the case, giving rise to this petition, are that the petition was a dealer of fair price shop. On an enquiry, respondent no.3 cancelled the license of the petitioner by the impugned order dated 10.1.2007. Being aggrieved, the petitioner preferred an appeal before the Commissioner, Kumaon Division, Nainital (respondent no.2). The learned Commissioner, at the admission stage, issued direction to the Collector Udham Singh Nagar that in such cases apart from cancelling the license of fair price shop, other proceedings be also initiated against the dealer. I have perused the orders impugned and found that the order of the learned Commissioner is cryptic in nature. There is no mention in the order impugned that what enquiry was to be made by the Collector against the petitioner. The order dated 7.3.2007 passed by learned Commissioner is liable to be set aside on this ground. The writ petition is allowed. Order dated 7.3.2007 passed by Commissioner, Kumaon Division, Nainital, is quashed. However, the learned Commissioner is directed to decide the appeal, if the same has not been decided as yet, as expeditiously as possible. (B.S. Verma, J.) 22.2.2011 RG
