Court Name: Supreme Court of Pakistan Judge(s): Muhammad Afzal Zullah, Aslam Riaz Hussain Title:MOHARRAM ALI SHAH AND Another vs SECRETARY, MINISTRY OF FOOD AND
Other Case No.: Civil Petition for Leave to Appeal No.--- 1167 of 1981 Date of Judgment:1982-04-26 Reported As: 1982 SCMR 1166 Result: Petition dismissed Judgment ORDER ASLAM RIAZ HUSSAIN, J -The petitioners seek Leave to Appeal against the judgment of the Lahore High Court, dated 30-11-1981, dismissing their writ petition. 2. Moharram Ali Shah is a Depot-Holder whose depot was cancelled by the District Food Controller, Sheikhupura, on 15-12-1980. 3. The only contention raised by the learned counsel is that he was not associated with the preliminary inquiry as such he had been con--demned unheard. It is not disputed that a show- cause notice was issued to him to which he gave a reply and was heard personally by the District Food Controller, before the order in question was passed. He was also beard by the Appellate Court as well as by the Revisional Authority. The High Court was, therefore, justified in holding that in the circumstances, the petitioner cannot plead that he was not heard. Consequently the petition dismissed as being without merit.
