PETITIONER AND 1 The Deputy Tahasildar (CS) Palasa , Palasa Mandal Srikakulam (PO) Srikakulam District. 2 The Joint Collector (CS) Srikakulam 3 The Commissioner of Civil Supplies Andhra Pradesh, at Hyderabad, A.P. .....RESPONDENTS Counsel for the Petitioner : MR.K.MANIK PRABHU Counsel for the Respondents: GP FOR CIVIL SUPPLIES The Court made the following : ORDER: This writ petition is filed for a Mandamus to declare seizure of 360 bags of paddy from the petitioner’s godown on 21-05-2009 as illegal and arbitrary. Heard Sri K.Manik Prabhu, learned counsel for the petitioner, and learned Government Pleader for Civil Supplies. On the allegation that the petitioner was hoarding food grains in an unauthorized godown, the abovementioned stock was seized under panchanama, dated 21-05-2009. On receipt of the show cause notice from respondent No.2, the petitioner made a representation on 20-06-2009 seeking release of the seized stocks. The grievance of the petitioner is that so far no order has been passed on the said representation and respondent No.2 is seeking to sell the seized stocks, pending proceedings under Section 6-A of Essential Commodities Act, 1955. Inasmuch as the petitioner’s application for release of the seized stock is pending, it is not necessary for this Court to give findings on the contentions raised by the petitioner, at this stage. The writ petition is, therefore, disposed of with the direction to respondent No.2 to consider the petitioner’s application for release of the seized stock and pass appropriate orders, in accordance with law, before he seeks to proceed further. As a sequel to disposal of main petition, WPMP No.16800 of 2009 filed by the petitioner for interim relief is disposed of as infructuous. C.V.
