Alleging discrepancies in the stock, the license of the petitioner was cancelled and security amount was directed to be forfeited. The petitioner filed an appeal before the District Collector, Kozhikode, which was allowed and the license was renewed for three months. The 4th respondent has filed a revision against that order before the 2nd respondent. The 2nd respondent by Ext.P6 order set aside the order of the District Collector.
