JUSTICE NAWNEET KUMAR PANDEY ORAL JUDGMENT (Per: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE ASHUTOSH KUMAR) Date : 23-11-2022 Mr. Mrityunjay Kumar Tiwary, learned advocate for the petitioner grieves that despite the petitioner having filed an appeal (Supply Appeal No. 24 of 2021) before the Collector, Saran at Chapra, the appellate authority, on 25.10.2021, no order has been passed.

The petitioner's license remains cancelled.

There can be no explanation for keeping such appeal pending.

Patna High Court CWJC No.7716 of 2022 dt.23-11-2022 2/2 We, instead of seeking an explanation from the appellate authority about non-disposal of the aforesaid appeal, direct the appellate authority to dispose of the appeal by a reasoned order within a period of sixty (60) days, to be counted from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order, failing which this Court shall take a serious view of the matter.

The petition stands disposed of with the aforenoted direction.
