IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Civil Writ Jurisdiction Case No.16658 of 2007 Umesh Prasad Versus The State Of Bihar &Ors ---------------------------------- 4 29/09/2011. Petitioner who is a PDS dealer within Biharsharif block prays for quashing order dated 1.9.2007, passed by the Sub-divisional officer, Biharsharif whereby he has cancelled his licence observing that the explanation given by him is not satisfactory. The petitioner submits that the Lilcencing authority has not given any reason for cancelling the licence. I too find from the impugned order that the Licencing officer has not assigned any reason for cancelling the licence of the petitioner. Merely saying that the show cause is not satisfactory is not enough. It has to be backed up by some reason. In view of the above observation, the matter is remitted to the Sub-divisional officer, Biharsharif for passing speaking order within a period of six months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order. The petition stands disposed of. Let this order be communicated to the Sub- divisional officer, Biharsharif through FAX at the cost of the petitioner. Shashi. (Samarendra Pratap Singh, J.)
