Counsel for the Petitioner: MR.T.P.ACHARYA Counsel for the Respondent No.: GP FOR CIVIL SUPPLIES The Court made the following : THE HON’BLE Ms. JUSTICE G. ROHINI WRIT PETITION No. 19589 of 2008 O R D E R: The petitioner’s licence in Form-B was cancelled by the third respondent by proceedings dated 05-07-2008. Aggrieved by the same, the petitieonr preferred an appeal before the second respondent along with an application seeking stay. Though the appeal was entertained, the second respondent by order dated 16-08-2008 dismissed the petitioner’s application for interim stay. Aggrieved by the same, the present writ petition is filed. Having heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Civil Supplies appearing for the respondents and having regard to the fact that the impugned order is only an interim order pending the statutory appeal, I am not inclined to interfere with the same. However, having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, the writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the second respondent to consider the main appeal itself preferred by the petitioner against the order of the third respondent dated 05-07-2008 and dispose of the same following due process of law as expeditiously as possible preferably within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. No costs. ______________ G. ROHINI,J Date: 04-09-2008 KLP
