For the Petitioner/s : Mr. Mukesh Kumar, Advocate For the Respondent/s : Mr. M. D. Dwivedi, Advocate ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE SAMARENDRA PRATAP SINGH ORAL ORDER 23-09-2015 The petitioner is a PDS dealer bearing License no.2/98. He prays for quashing order dated 25.2.2008, the appellate order dated 1.2.2011 and the revisional order dated 11.4.2013, by which his dealership license has been cancelled. Learned counsel submits that show cause should be specific as to whether the licensing authority proposes to cancel the licence or to suspend the same. The licensing authority cannot proceed with both, as the punishment is an alternative punishment.

In that view of the matter, the show cause notice is vague and defective and accordingly the impugned orders are set aside with liberty to the respondents to proceed afresh in accordance with law.

(Samarendra Pratap Singh, J) Shashi.
