<h1>Supreme Court overturns license cancellation, orders fair proceedings, cites lack of defense opportunity & undisclosed material.</h1> <h3>North Bihar Agency And Ors. Versus State Of Bihar And Ors.</h3> The Supreme Court set aside the orders cancelling the appellants' licenses due to lack of proper opportunity to defend themselves and reliance on ... - Appellate cancellation of the appellants' drug licences was quashed for denial of procedural fairness: the appellate authority relied on a Central Drugs Laboratory report-four samples 'not to be standard quality'-without having furnished that report to the appellants or giving them an opportunity to meet it. The authority also accepted a narrative that the appellants were dealing in 'sub-standard and spurious quality of medicines' and thereby 'playing with the life of the ailing community,' but failed to consider the appellants' explanation that the godown licence had been deposited with the Civil Surgeon for renewal and thus could not be produced. The appellate findings demonstrate non-application of mind to submissions and reliance on material not previously disclosed. Both the original cancellation and the appellate order are set aside; the respondent is directed to proceed afresh, affording proper opportunity and observing the principles of natural justice.
