(2.) The petitioner is holding a retail kerosene license. The Show-cause-Notice was issued to the petitioner. The impugned order came to be passed on 7th September, 2007 by the District Supply Officer, Yavatmal, on the ground that though a show-cause-notice was issued to the petitioner and his explanation was sought, he did not submit his explanation within the stipulated period.
