IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.8798 of 2007 Nandu Prasad son of Late Sharan Sao, resident of Bihari Road, Hilsa, P.S. Hilsa, District-Nalanda. …… Petitioner. Versus 1. The State of Bihar. 2. The District Magistrate-cum-Collector, Nalanda at Biharsharif. 3. The Sub-Divisional Officer, Hilsa (Nalanda). ……. Respondents. ----------- For the petitioner : Mr. Mithilesh Kumar, Advocate. For the respondents : Mr. Suresh Mishra, A. C. to G.P. X. ------ 02/ 09.08.2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State. 2. This writ petition has been filed by the petitioner challenging order dated 10.07.1998 (Annexure-3) by which Sub- Divisional Officer, Hilsa (respondent no.3) stopped the allotment of kerosene oil to the petitioner with immediate effect and asked show cause as to why his licence should not be cancelled after suspension. Against the said order an appeal bearing Supply Case No.05 of 2006 was filed, but it stood dismissed for default by the District Magistrate, Nalanda (respondent no.2) vide order dated 02.04.2007 (Annexure-7). 3. From the arguments of the parties and from their pleadings, it is apparent that since the impugned order dated 10.07.1998, the allotment of kerosene oil of the petitioner has been stopped without any order of suspension or any order of cancellation being passed. Hence, in furtherance of impugned order dated 10.07.1998 no step has been taken by the authorities although they 2 were legally required to take the same. 4. In the said circumstances, this writ petition is disposed of with a liberty to the petitioner to file a fresh representation before Sub-Divisional Officer, Hilsa (Nalanda) (respondent no.3) along with a copy of this order within fifteen days from today and if such an application is filed, the said respondent no.3 shall consider the matter in accordance with law after giving an opportunity to the petitioner to place his case and thereafter decide the matter within three months thereafter.
