IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.12359 of 2006 GANESH PRASAD Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 2 21.12.2009 The petitioner prays for quashing the order dated 8.12.2005 contained in memo no.1121 passed by the Subdivisional Officer, Bettiah Sadar, Bettiah as well as the appellate order dated 7.8.2006 passed by the Collector, West Champaran, Bettiah in Case No.19/2005-06. The petitioner submits that it would appear from the very order of the licensing authority that it has not considered the show cause filed by the petitioner. In fact the grand son of the petitioner was ill and as such he had closed the premises. He submits that balance stock of 609 liters of Kerosene oil was available in his shop. The Appellate Court had rejected the appeal on the ground that no sale register or stock register has been produced before him. The petitioner submits that he has requisite documents. Counsel for the State submits that no document was shown before the authorities and out of 1281 Liters of Kerosene oil only 678 liters was distributed. The remaining stock has been used for black marketing. In the facts and circumstances of the case, I am of the view that an opportunity should be provided to the petitioner to produce all the relevant papers before the Appellate authority. Accordingly, I remit the matter back to the Appellate Authority 2 KHAN to pass a fresh order after giving opportunity to the petitioner to produce all relevant documents. It would be open to the Appellate authority to see whether the documents filed by the petitioner are not antedated. With the aforesaid observations and directions, this writ petition stands disposed of. (S.P.Singh,J)
