The license of the petitioner has been cancelled, which order has been challenged in the petition. Though several grounds have been raised by the petitioner but considering the fact that statutory provision of appeal has not been exhausted by the petitioner, we are

Should such an appeal be filed within a period of 30 days, the Appellate Authority after affording sufficient opportunity to the petitioner to present his case, shall pass a reasoned order within a further period of 60 days giving reasons in support of the decision taken by him. The order so passed by the Appellate Authority shall be made available to the petitioner forthwith. The writ petition stands disposed of accordingly.
