Learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that without suspending or cancelling the petitioner’s authorization, the authorities stopped supplying the essential commodities. As such, prayed to pass appropriate orders. 4. On the other hand, learned Assistant Government Pleader submitted that before filing the writ petition itself, show cause notice dated 15.09.2025 has been issued asking the petitioner to submit explanation as to why the petitioner’s authorization should not be cancelled pending enquiry and suspension order was passed on 24.09.2025. However, by over sight the earlier Government Pleader could not bring to the notice of this Court. There are no merits in the writ petition and same deserves dismissal. 5. Perused the record and considered the submissions made by both the learned counsel. 6. It is not in dispute that a show cause notice has been issued by the authority concerned to the petitioner on 15.09.2025. Insofar as suspension 4 order dated 24.09.2025 is concerned, it is the contention of the petitioner that the same was not issued or served on the petitioner. There is no material available on record to show that the said suspension order has been served on the petitioner. 7. Keeping in view the facts and circumstances and the submissions made, instead of going to the merits and demerits of the case, this Court is inclined to dispose of the writ petition with the following direction:- <The 3rd respondent/Revenue Divisional Officer is directed to conclude the enquiry within a period of two (02) months from the date of receipt of the copy of this order or else, the suspension order shall stand revoked.= 8. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs.
