Learned senior counsel for the petitioner submits that petitioner is a PDS dealer for the last 25 years and in these 25 years no case ever came to be instituted against him, it is next submitted that allegation is of finding grain in excess, it is also submitted that FIR does not even remotely suggest that any beneficiary had complaint that they were receiving amount less than what they were entitled, it is thus submitted that entire the allegation thus hinges around suspicion, learned senior counsel for the petitioner next submits that petitioner has already suffered and even his license has been suspended, leaving him without any livelihood.
