G. K. MISRA, C. J.

( 1 ) THE petitioner had one S. B. M. L. gun with license. On 11-9-63 the Additional district Magistrate, Dhenkanal cancelled the license by passing the following order:

"discussed with the Sub-divisional Officer. The licensee Sri Digambar panda is reported to be a rowdy element. He is reported to be threatening to kill some of his opponents with his gun. He has also been suspected in some arson cases and has been removed from the Naib sarpanchship of Chandrasekharprasad Grama Punchayet on charge of misappropriation of (and?) forgery. S. P. has recommended cancellation of his license. It is undesirable to permit him to hold a gun in view of his anti-social activities. His license is therefore cancelled. "

Against this order, M. A. No. 4 of 1965 was filed before the Revenue Divisional commissioner who dismissed the appeal on 9-2-66. The substantive part of the appellate order runs thus:

"i find that the order dated 11-9-63 of the Additional District Magistrate, dhenkanal, is self-explanatory. It shows clearly that possession of a gun license by the petitioner (who?) adduced no evidence to disprove the allegations. The appeal is dismissed. Sd/. D. D. Surk. "
