ORAL ORDER

2

25-03-2021

The present writ petition has been filed for quashing the

order dated 05.11.2019 passed by the Sub-Divisional Officer,

Sadar, Gaya, whereby and whereunder the license of the

petitioner bearing License No. 4 of 2016, has been cancelled.

The short point raised by the petitioner is that the

aforesaid order dated 05.11.2019 passed by the Sub-Divisional

Officer, Sadar, Gaya is completely un-reasoned, non-speaking

and does not deal with the reply of the petitioner, hence is

perfunctory and fit to be set aside.

The learned counsel for the respondents has not disputed

the position as is existing in law.

Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case

Patna High Court CWJC No.24360 of 2019(2) dt.25-03-2021

2/2

and considering the law laid down by the Hon’ble Apex Court,

in a judgment reported in (2010) 9 SCC 496 (Kranti Associates

Pvt. Ltd. & Anr vs. Masood Ahmed Khan & Ors ), this Court

finds that the order dated 05.11.2019, passed by the Sub-

Divisional Officer, Sadar, Gaya is a non-speaking and a

perfunctory order as also does not deal with the submissions

made by the petitioner in his reply, hence is unsustainable in the

eyes of law, thus is quashed. However, liberty is granted to the

Sub-Divisional Order, Sadar, Gaya to pass an order afresh, in

accordance with law after considering the replies furnished by

the petitioner.

The writ petition stands allowed.
