IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.1235 of 2006 NAND LAL PASWAN Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 2 4.11.2009 Heard counsel for the petitioner and the State. The petitioner is aggrieved by order dated 29.11.2005 passed by the Divisional Commissioner, Tirhut Division, Muzaffarpur by which he has dismissed the revision and confirmed the impugned order dated 30.9.2002 passed by the Collector, Vaishali in Misc. Case No.29 of 2002 as well as the order dated 22.3.2000 passed by the Subdivisional Officer, Hajipur. The petitioner submits that the Commissioner, Tirhut Division, Muzaffarpur has dismissed his revision merely because he was not able to show the letter no.4036 dated 16.11.1994 issued by the Department of Food and Civil Supplies, Government of Bihar whereby licence of P.D.S. dealer belonging to SC/ST category is not to be cancelled under any circumstances without issuing show cause to him. Learned State counsel submits that it would appear from Annexure-1 that show cause was issued to the petitioner and as such the aforesaid letter no.4036 dated 16.11.1994 issued by the Department of Food and Civil Supplies, Government of Bihar will not give much aid to the petitioner. The Public Distribution System Control Order, 2001 enacted by the Central Government has become effective in the 2 KHAN State of Bihar w.e.f. February 2007. In this view of the matter, it would be open to the petitioner to make a representation before the licensing authority for grant of licence if vacancy exists in this regard. With the aforesaid observations, this writ petition stands disposed of. (S.P.Singh,J)
