At the outset, Learned counsel for the petitioner contended that since this matter is squarely covered under the order dated 28.06.2016 passed in CWJC No. 1361 of 2014 (Pramod Kumar Versus The State of Bihar & Ors.), this writ petition may also be disposed of on the same term and conditions. 3. Having regard to the submissions made by the Learned counsel for the petitioner as well the fact that at the time of passing of Annexure-P/4, the renewal fee with late fine was already deposited by the petitioner, which has not been denied by the authority, let the error committed by the petitioner be condoned for once and her PDS licence in question be restored. 4. In view of the facts and circumstances stated above, the present Writ petition stands disposed of in terms of the aforesaid judgment passed in CWJC No. 1361 of 2014 (supra) by a co-ordinate Bench of this Court.
