Through this petition the petitioner seeks indulgence of this Court for declaring the impugned order dated 17-12-2003 passed by D.C.O. Bahawalpur by which his appeal against the order dated 5-4-2003 passed by Tehsil Nazim, Yaiman was dismissed, to be illegal and without lawful authority.

2. The brief facts are that the petitioner had installed a small grinding mill, commonly known as Chakki in Chak No. 111/DNB, Tehsil Yazman, District Bahawalpur, for which licence was issued by Tehsil Municipal Officer Yazman vide his order No.114, dated 2-3-2003. After the grant of permission the petitioner had installed Chakki and was earning his livelihood through the grinding mill, when all of a sudden Mr. Muhammad Hanif Tehsil Nazim ha cancelled the licence of the petitioner and directed Tehsil Officer Planning to seal the "Chakki" on 5-4-2003 which order was set aside by D.C.O. and remanded the case to Tehsil Nazim who had maintained his earlier order through his order dated 2-5-2003. The petitioner had again filed appeal before D.C.O., which was decided on 18-12-2003, which had upheld the order of Tehsil Nazim.

3. The grievance of the petitioner is that he had not violated any terms and conditions of the licence and the licence was granted after verification of the facts and the ground realities. It has further been stated that due to inimical terms of the Lumberdar of that area, it is motivated to deprive the petitioner from his earning.

4. At this stage the learned counsel appearing on behalf of Tehsil Nazim, respondent No.2 was asked as to what was the material upon which the petitioner's licence was cancelled.
