IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Civil Writ Jurisdiction Case No.9312 of 2008 Shrimati Shyama Devi, Wife of Late Lallan Prasad Singh, Resident of Village Rasulpur, P.O. Malikpura, P.S. Goraul, District Vaishali. ----- Petitioner. Versus 1. The State of Bihar through its Chief Secretary, Government of Bihar, Old Secretariat, Patna. 2. The Collector, Vaishali at Hajipur. 3. The Sub-divisional Officer, Mahua, District Vaishali at Hajipur. 4. The Block Supply Officer, Goraul, District Vaishali at Hajipur. ----- Respondents. ----------- 4 16.12.2011 This writ application has been filed challenging the order passed on 2.9.1999 by the Sub-divisional Officer, Mahua and the order dated 30.8.2006, passed by the Collector, Vaishali at Hajipur. The petitioner was issued a show-cause to which he did not reply. Eventually the Sub- divisional Officer found that the allegations against the petitioner were true and thereafter passed an order cancelling the licence of the petitioner vide his order dated 2.9.1999. The petitioner challenged the order dated 2.9.1999 in appeal which was dismissed on the ground that it was time barred. The petitioner thereafter filed a writ application being CWJC No. 12205 of 2004 which was disposed of on 22.4.2004 after recording the petitioner’s prayer that he 2 should be given liberty to withdraw the writ application with liberty to file an appeal before the authority concerned. Accordingly, the petitioner filed an appeal. Apparently the appeal was dismissed for non appearance of the petitioner on 5.12.2005. The matter was again restored and the next date was fixed on 17.2.2006. After 17.2.2006 the petitioner did not appear in Court and it appears that his appeal was finally dismissed on 30.8.2006. From the facts as mentioned above i.e. the petitioner’s non co-operative attitude by not filing a show-cause, by repeatedly not appearing before the appellate authority not on one occasion, but on three occasions, indicates that the petitioner had no interest in the lis. In any event, this Court notices that the licence has been cancelled in the year 1999. After the cancellation of the licence in the year 1999, several opportunities had arisen which could have been availed by the petitioner as she could have applied for grant of a licence afresh. However, she chose not to do so. Under these circumstances, this Court finds that this is 3 not a fit case in which the Court can exercise its extraordinary jurisdiction. This writ application is dismissed. Sanjay (Sheema Ali Khan, J.)
