The 3rd respondent also issued a show cause notice of even date asking the petitioner to show cause as to why the authorization of his Fair Price Shop should not be cancelled.

2.

According to the learned counsel for petitioner, the said impugned order dated 25.03.2017, in the facts and circumstances of the case, is unwarranted and highly arbitrary and illegal.
