The petitioner prays to quash order dated 14.2.2009, passed by the Sub Divisional Officer, Gopalganj, the Licensing Officer by which his PDS shop situated in Sidhwalia Block has been cancelled. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the impugned order does not specify the allegation and from perusal of the same it appears that there was recommendation of the Block Supply officer, Sidhwalia for invoking order of Patna High Court CWJC No.3671 of 2009 (3) dt.05-07-2012 2 / 2 2 suspension. In the facts and circumstances of the case, I set aside the impugned order dated 14.2.2009, passed by the Licensing officer who would consider the matter afresh after giving notice to the petitioner within three weeks from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order. The petitioner would file reply within further three weeks. Thereafter the Licensing officer would decide the matter. Till then the PDS shop of the petitioner would be tagged with another PDS dealer so that the consumers may not be inconvenienced. The writ petition is disposed of with the aforesaid directions.
