(2)If any person contravenes any order under section 3 relating to foodstuffs, (a)he shall be punishable with imprisonment for a term which may extend to three years and shall also be liable to fine, unless for reasons to be recorded the Court is of opinion that a sentence of fine only will meet the ends of justice ; and (b)any property in respect of which the order has been contravened or such part thereof as to the Court may seem fit shall be forfeited to the Government, unless for reasons to be recorded the Court is of opinion that it is not necessary to direct forfeiture in respect of the whole or, as the case may be, any part of the property: Provided that where the contravention is of an order prescribing the maximum quantity of any foodgrain that may lawfully be possessed by any person or class of persons, and the person contravening the order is found to have been in possession of foodgrains exceeding twice the maximum quantity so prescribed, the Court shall (a)sentence him to imprisonment for a term which may extend to seven years and to a fine not less than 805 twenty times the value of the foodgrain found in his possession, and (b)direct that the whole of such foodgrain in excess of the prescribed quantity shall be forfeited to the Government.
