CW 7704/07 //1// In the High Court of Judicature for Rajasthan Jaipur Bench ** Civil Writ Petition No.7704/2007 Zahoor Ahmed Khan Versus State & Ors. Date of Order ::: 06/03/09 Hon'ble Mr. Justice Ajay Rastogi Mr. Hetram Agrawal, for petitioner Mr. Chetan Bairwa, Addl. Govt. Advocate for respondents State Instant petition has been filed assailing order dt.31/08/07 (Ann.4) passed by District Supply Officer, Tonk, (respondent No.3) whereby license of fair prise shop has been cancelled. Government Counsel submits that order impugned is appealable and without exhausting remedy of appeal, instant petition has been preferred - in view whereof, writ petition is not maintainable and Government Counsel placed reliance upon order dt.05/11/08 passed by a Co- ordinate Bench of this Court in CWP-7274/07 (Tikam Chand Jain Vs. State). However, Counsel for petitioner submits that even in Tikam Chand Vs. State (supra), this Court allowed to continue interim order for one month. In view of alternative remedy of statutory appeal available to the petitioner, present writ petition is not maintainable and this Court is not inclined to entertain the same in writ CW 7704/07 //2// jurisdiction. Consequently, writ petition fails and is hereby dismissed on the ground of availability of alternative remedy available to petitioner. However, interim order dt.30/10/07 is allowed to continue for one month if petitioner in the meanwhile prefers appeal. No costs. (Ajay Rastogi), J. K.Khatri/p.2/7704CW07Mar6Rmdy.doc
