IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE FOR RAJASTHAN BENCH AT JAIPUR ORDER IN S.B. Civil Writ Petition No.2892/2004 Brij Mohan S/o Johari Lal Versus State of Rajasthan and Others Date of Order ::: 08.04.2008 Present Hon'ble Mr. Justice Narendra Kumar Jain Shri Ram Ratan Gurjar, Advocate, for Shri M.K. Kaushik, Counsel for petitioner Shri M.C. Gupta, Addl. Govt. Counsel for respondents #### By the Court:- Heard learned counsel for the parties. The petitioner has preferred this writ petition to quash the impugned order dated 9th March, 2004 (Annexure-4), whereby the food license granted to the petitioner for the year 2004 i.e. up-to 31th December, 2004 was cancelled. The counsel for the petitioner submits that the impugned order (Annexure-4) was passed in violation of principles of natural justice. The learned Additional Government Counsel appearing on behalf of the State submits that the license was granted to the petitioner up-to 31st December, 2004 and he has already ran the shop because of the interim stay order passed by this Court on 11th May, 2004 and after expiry of term of license the present writ petition has become infructuous and the same may be dismissed as such. In rejoinder the counsel for the petitioner submits that he is not aware as to whether the petitioner was granted license for subsequent years i.e. 2005 onwards or not and that his rights may be protected in this regard. After considering the submissions of learned counsel for both the parties, I find that Annexure-3 food-articles-license was granted to the petitioner for the period up-to 31st December, 2004 which was cancelled by the impugned order dated 9th March, 2004. This Court granted stay on 11th May, 2004 maintaining the status-quo in the matter. The term of license itself has expired, therefore, the present writ petition has become infructuous. The writ petition is accordingly dismissed as having become infructuous. However, it is made clear that in case the petitioner prays for fresh license for subsequent period then the licensing authority shall consider the application of the petitioner sympathetically in accordance with law. Cost is made easy. (Narendra Kumar Jain) J. //Jaiman// IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE FOR RAJASTHAN BENCH AT JAIPUR ORDER IN S.B. Civil Misc. Stay Application No.2511/2004 In S.B.
