JUDGMENT 1. This is a rule calling on the District Judge of Cuttack to show cause why in effect he should not renew the license of the Petitioner who is a muktear ordinarily practising in the Criminal Courts at Khurdah. No cause is shown, but we have perused the letter of the District Judge of Cuttack and that of the Sub-divisional Officer of Khurdah. 2. It appears that last year the applicant's license was renewed on a good character certificate furnished by the officer presiding in the second Court, and we find that, on the present occasion, the procedure adopted by the Petitioner was identical. It does not appear that there is any evidence of unprofessional conduct, or conduct such as would disentitle the Petitioner to have his license renewed. The Sub-divisional Officer merely says that he has suspicions that the Petitioner was implicated in, and privy to, the sending of anonymous petitions making serious allegations against the Tehsildar and the Sub-divisional Officer to their official superiors. A man cannot be deprived of his means of subsistence on mere suspicions; but we are glad to find that an affidavit has been filed that the Petitioner is not in any way connected with the anonymous petitions. There is nothing against his character, and, without inquiring further into the matter, we direct the District Judge of Cuttack to renew the Petitioner's certificate for the current year. 3. The rule, therefore, is made absolute. We should add that issuing this rule we observed that inasmuch as the Petitioner's license to practise on the revenue side had been renewed for the current year, he should be permitted to practise on the criminal side pending the result of this rule. The Petitioner states, and his statement is borne out by an affidavit and a certified copy of the order of the Sub-divisional Magistrate, that the Petitioner's muktearnama was refused by the Sub-divisional Officer on the 8th June last. The learned vakil, however, does not desire to press this matter provided, of course, his client be permitted to practise without let or hindrance as he has been doing. If the order, we have now passed, is disregarded in any way by the Sub-divisional Officer, we shall be obliged to take very serious notice, but we are confident that the incident will now terminate.
