H. Ahmed, Advocate For the respondent (s) : Mr. J. Chutia, SC, KAAC BEFORE HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE DEVASHIS BARUAH O R D E R 22.09.2025 Heard Mr. M. H. Ahmed, the learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioners. Mr. J. Chutia, the learned counsel appears on behalf of the KAAC and Ms. U. Das, the learned Additional Senior Government Advocate appears on behalf of the District Commissioner, Karbi Anglong. 2. The petitioners herein have assailed the cancellation of their licenses by the orders dated 27.05.2025 and 12.08.2025. 3. It is seen that each writ petitioner has a separate cause of action in respect to the cancellation of their licenses in as much Page No.# 5/5 as some of the writ petitioners, their licenses were valid upto 31.12.2025 whereas there are some writ petitioners who did not renew their licenses after getting their initial licenses. 4. The record further reveals that the respective show cause notices issued to the petitioners have not also been enclosed along with the writ petition as well as their corresponding replies, if any, by the petitioners. This Court deprecates such practice. 5. Mr. M. H. Ahmed, the learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioners submits that he may be permitted to withdraw the instant writ petition with a liberty to refile. 6. This Court having taken into consideration that the fault is on the part of the counsel and not the petitioners, grants liberty to withdraw the writ petition with the liberty to refile by bringing on record the necessary documents, i.e. the licenses as well as the consequent renewals; show cause notices; the corresponding replies, if any, and the specific pleadings in that regard. 7. With the above, the instant writ petition stands closed on withdrawal. JUDGE Comparing Assistant
