Raj Kumar Rajinder Singh vs State Of Himachal Pradesh And Others on 20 July, 1990
Similar view has also been taken by the Division Bench of this Court in Raj Kumari Vs. State of U.P. and Ors. 2011 LawSuit(All)834. A bare perusal of the impugned order this much is clearly reflected that at no point of time the explanation submitted by the petitioner has ever been dealt with by the Licensing Authority independently. The authority concerned has passed the order impugned without application of mind merely on the basis of F.I.R. lodged against the petitioner. The order must be passed after recording reason and in absence of any such reason, the order is liable to be quashed.
