(1.) THIS PIL has been filed seeking interference of the Court with the restoration of the licence to the Respondent No. 4 for running a ration depot at village Chalk Ghubai @ Tara Wala, District Ferozepur.

(2.) THE affidavit filed by Respondent No. 3 would go to show that by order dated 22.9.2009 the licence of the Respondent No. 4 was suspended on the basis of a complaint dated 2.9.2009 alleging certain anomalies in the distribution of the food items to the card holders by the said Respondent. Thereafter, a Show Cause Notice dated 19.10.2009 was issued to the Respondent No. 4 and an opportunity of personal hearing was afforded to the said Respondents on 19.1.2010. By order dated 22.1.2010 (Annexure R1) the licence of the Respondent No. 4 was restored and forfeiture of the security amount of Rs. 1,000 was ordered. However, it appears that on the basis of another complaint dated 10.2.2010 (Annexure P1) the licence of the Respondent No. 4 was again suspended by an order dated 23.2.2010.

(3.) THIS PIL shall stand disposed of.
