JUDGEMENT

(1.) THE petitioner was a fair price shop licensee. By order dated 25.7.2007, the fair price shop licence of the petitioner was placed under suspension. Reply to the charges was given by the petitioner. THEreafter, by order dated 4.10.2007, passed by the Sub-Divisional Magistrate (Licensing Authority), the licence of the petitioner was cancelled. Challenging the said order, the petitioner filed an appeal before the Commissioner, Varanasi Division, Varanasi, which has been dismissed on 24.10.2008 by the Deputy Commissioner (Food),Varanasi Division, Varanasi. Aggrieved by the said order dated 4.10.2007, passed by the Sub-Divisional Magistrate and order dated 24.10.2008, passed by the Deputy Commissioner (Food), Varanasi Division, Varanasi, this writ petition has been filed.

(2.) I have heard learned counsel for the petitioner as well as learned standing counsel for the State-respondents and have perused the record. Pleadings between the parties have been exchanged and this writ petition is being finally disposed of at this stage.

(3.) PERUSAL of the appellate order also goes to show that all that the appellate authority has stated in paragraph 6 of the impugned order is that the reply submitted by the petitioner was not satisfactory and that there is no illegality with the order of the Licensing Authority, hence the appeal of the petitioner has been dismissed.
