Versus … Petitioner. 1. State of Uttarakhand through Secretary, Ministry of Consumer Affairs and Civil Supplies, Secretariat Complex, Dehradun. 2. District Supplies Officer District Dehradun. 3. Shakur Mohammad R/O Village Umedpur East Hope Town, Block Sahaspur, Dehradun, District Dehradun. … Respondents. Mr. Gopal Narain, learned counsel for the petitioners. Mr. K.P.Upadhyay, learned Additional C.S.C. for the respondents no. 1 and 2. Date June 10, 2010. Hon’ble B.S.Verma, J. Heard Sri Gopal Narain, Advocate, learned counsel for the petitioner as well as the learned Additional C.S.C. and perused the record. By means of this writ petition, the petitioner has sought a writ in the nature of certiorari quashing the order dated 12- 3-2010 and 10-5-2010 passed by respondent no.2. By the order dated 12-3-2010, the petitioner was required to file reply as the last opportunity against show cause notice issued to him far back vide order dated 24-9-2009 and by the order dated 10-5-2010, the Respondent no.2-District Supply Officer Dehradun has cancelled the licence of fair price shop allotted to the petitioner. Learned Additional Chief Standing Counsel has raised a preliminary objection that under the Government Order dated 15th October, 2005, (Annexure-9 to the petition), which has been relied upon by the petitioner, there is provision for filing statutory appeal under clause 14 of the G.O. against the impugned order before the Commissioner of the Division. 2 Learned counsel for the petitioner has vehemently contended that no opportunity of hearing was given to the petitioner. If the opportunity has not been given, then the writ petition is very well maintainable. I am not inclined to entertain the writ petition on the ground that provision of statutory appeal is mentioned in the Government Order itself and this ground may also be raised by the petitioner in appeal amongst other grounds before the Commissioner. On the ground of remedy of statutory appeal available to the petitioner, the writ petition is dismissed. ( B.S.Verma, J.) RCP
