                   W.P.(C)NO.15613 OF 2006
                 -----------------------------------
         DATED THIS THE 21st DAY OF AUGUST, 2007

                              JUDGMENT

The petitioner filed this writ petition at a time when the wheat

was seized from the petitioner for violation of the provisions of the

Essential Commodities Act. Now the learned counsel for the petitioner

submits that since the respondents have filed a counter affidavit

stating that the seizure was followed by orders of confiscation, the

petitioner may be permitted to challenge that order appropriately.

Accordingly, this writ petition is closed without prejudice to the

right of the petitioner to challenge the confiscation order passed

subsequently appropriately.
