The petitioners have questioned the order dated 28.05.1999 whereby their respective licences granted under the Public Distribution System has been cancelled by a cyclostyled order which is placed at Annexure-4 of the writ petitions. It is the contention of the writ petitioners that a batch of writ petitions questioning the mechanical manner in which the order of cancellation has been passed, came up for consideration before this Court in CWJC No. 354 of 2006 and analogous cases and a bench of this Court by order dated 22.02.2010 (as modified on 15.03.2010) was pleased to allow the writ petitions and the matter was remitted back to the Licensing Authority for fresh consideration in accordance with law. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the Bench while allowing the writ petitions had also taken note of the delay that had occasioned in approaching this Court but considering the manner in which the orders had been passed, the writ petitions were allowed. Having heard learned counsel for the parties and considering the order dated 22.02.2010 passed in C.W.J.C. No. 354 of 2006 and other cases, these writ petitions are also disposed of in terms of the said order and the impugned order dated 28.05.1999 of the respective writ petitions placed at Annexure-4 thereof, are quashed and set aside and the matter is remitted back to the Licensing Authority-cum-Sub-Divisional Officer, Sitamarhi to reconsider the matter and pass a fresh order in accordance with law.
