IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.3878 of 2010 PRAKASH SINGH & ORS Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 3 10.5.2010 Heard counsel for the petitioners and the State. The petitioners apprehend their arrest in a case under section 7 of the E.C. Act. It is alleged by the informant that 232 bags of food grains were seized out of which 143 bags were of rice and 89 bags were of wheat and they were containing seal of F.C.I. and were being carried on three tractors without any registration number on it. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the petitioners are P.D.S dealers and on 31.3.2008 the S.F.C. issued 232 bags of food grains in favour of one Bhola Sah and 119 bags of food grains were issued in favour of these three petitioners. From perusal of the report of the D.S.O. Bhojpur, Arrah dated 9.5.2008, it would show that the petitioners are innocent.
