DESHPANDE, J. 2.8.2007 PC: The petitioner claims right of personal hearing in proceedings initiated under sub-rule 5 of the Maharashtra Prevention of Food Adulteration Rules, 1962. 2. The petitioner carries on business of packing and selling of milk. The petitioner has been served with show 1 cause notice as to why his licence should not be suspended for the reasons stated in sub-rule 5. The petitioner claims to have filed reply to the show cause notice. By filing present writ petition the petitioner claims right of personal hearing before the authority concerned. No such application has been moved before the concerned authority. Hence petition appears to be premature. Learned counsel for the petitioner seeks permission to withdraw the writ petition with liberty to make appropriate application before the concerned authority seeking personal hearing in the matter. Writ petition allowed to be withdrawn with liberty as prayed for. 2.8.07. 2
