IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA LPA No.1639 of 1999 SK.TAUHID, son of Sk. Tabarak, resident of Village – Vijayee Kadawa, PS Ghora-Sahan, District East Champaran …Petitioner-Appellant Versus 1. THE STATE OF BIHAR 2. The Collector, East Champaran, Motihari 3. SDO, Sikrahana, Motihari 4. Block Marketing Officer, Anchal Ghora- Sahan, District East Champaran …Respondents-Respondents ----------- 05- 6.8.2009 Heard Mr. S Azeem for the appellant, and Mr. Shashi Shekhar Kumar, learned Standing Counsel no.16. This appeal has been preferred under clause 10 of the Letters Patent of the High Court of Judicature at Patna. The appellant is aggrieved by the order dated 7.10.99, whereby his writ petition bearing CWJC No.11141 of 1998 (Sk. Tauhid vs. State of Bihar & Ors.), has been dismissed. 2. It appears to us on a perusal of the materials on record that the petitioner was a licensee to set up a shop under the Public Distribution System. Complaints were made against him that the shop was closed and the notice-board did not contain necessary particulars about the position of the stock of the essential commodities. This led to the enquiry by the appropriate authorities wherein the petitioner was afforded opportunity to present his case. Neither did he produce the stock register and other relevant papers nor did he choose to examine the witnesses in the department. The licensing authority concluded that the petitioner was guilty of violation of the terms and conditions of the licence and thereafter cancelled the licence. The statutory appeal filed by the petitioner has also been dismissed. The appellate order was challenged by preferring the said CWJC No.11141 - 2 - of 1998, which was rejected by the impugned order. 3. In view of the foregoing discussion, we do not find any reason to interfere with the impugned order. The appeal is accordingly dismissed. ( S K Katriar ) ( Jyoti Saran ) mrl
