Mr. Pingal Bhattacharyya, learned advocate for the petitioner submits that the petitioner has challenged the vacancy notification on the ground that after Targeted Public Distribution (Control) Order, 2015, the Control Order 2013, on the basis of which the vacancy has been declared, has become redundant. He seeks for interim protection to the extent that the State can proceed with the selection process but should not grant licence till the issue is decided by this Court in batch of appeals, hearing of which has already been started.
