He, thus, submits that cause of action for the petition does not survive. 4. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that in view of withdrawal of the impugned order, the revision petition will have to be heard afresh. She further submits that Officers working in the Department of the Food and Civil Supplies of State of Maharashtra and the author of the order have taken a particular view of the matter, as such remanded matter be directed to be heard afresh by any other independent Officer for which the learned A.G.P. has no objection. In this view of the matter, the Chief Secretary, Government of Maharashtra is requested to hear and decide the matter or may appoint any independent Officer, competent to hear the matter unconnected with the Department of Food and Civil Supplies of the State so as to ensure impartial decision. The matter should be heard and decided by a reasoned order, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate within eight weeks from the date of receipt of copy of this order. Needless to mention that all rival contentions are kept open. The petition is disposed of in terms of this order. (V.C.DAGA, J.) (V.C.DAGA, J.) (V.C.DAGA, J.)
