Ministerial direction requiring the file to be sent for approval undermines the Director's independent exercise of that power and breaches the prescribed procedure. A cancellation order must also be communicated within the period prescribed after suspension where communication is necessary to preserve the affected party's right of appeal. An uncommunicated order kept on file does not take effect against the licensee, and delayed communication renders the cancellation and continuing suspension ineffective. en-us Wed, 09 Jun 2004 00:00:00 +0530 Thu, 10 Nov 2022 11:37:49 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=305003 Under the Control Order made under the Essential Commodities Act, the Director of Consumer Goods alone exercises the statutory power to grant, suspend and cancel licences.
