Having heard Mr. Ram Bachan Singh for the petitioner, J.C. to G.A. VII for the State and taking into consideration the facts and circumstances of the case, I deem it expedient that respondent no.2, the District Magistrate, Buxar takes decision on the application of the petitioner, if already not taken, within six months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order. I direct accordingly. It is made clear that I have not expressed any opinion in regard to the claim made by the petitioner for grant of licence and that shall be decided by respondent no.2 in accordance with law. Further in order to facilitate early disposal of the application, petitioner along with a copy of this order shall annex 2 the application filed earlier for grant of licence. Application stands disposed off with the observation aforesaid. (Chandramauli Kr.Prasad, ACJ.) Narendra/
