W.P.(C).No.24495 of 2008
==================
Dated this the 25th day of August, 2008
J U D G M E N T
Certain wheat has been seized from the petitioner’s
premises on the ground that the same is ration wheat illegally
possessed by the petitioner in violation of the provisions of the
Essential Commodities Act. The petitioner submits that the same
is not ration wheat at all and the same was intended for sale in
open market, for which there is no restriction at all. This is
disputed by the learned Government Pleader, who would assert
that the same is ration wheat illegally obtained and possessed by
the petitioner. However, for the present, the petitioner seeks only
a direction to the 1st respondent to consider and pass orders on
Ext.P4 representation filed by the petitioner in this regard,
expeditiously.
Having heard both sides, I dispose of this writ petition with
a direction to the 1st respondent to consider and pass orders on
Ext.P4 as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within two weeks
from the date of receipt of a certified copy of this judgment, after
w.p.c.24495/08 2
affording an opportunity of being heard to the petitioner. The
petitioner shall produce a copy of the writ petition along with a
certified copy of this judgment before the 1st respondent for
compliance.
