HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA CRIMINAL REVISION CASE No. 534 of 2002 JUDGMENT: This revision is directed against the judgment of the learned Sessions Judge, Nellore in Crl. M.A. No.38/98, dated 16.7.2001 whereby and whereunder the leaned Sessions Judge while dismissing the Appeal, has confirmed the order of the Joint Collector, dated 20.1.1995. The facts in brief are that the petitioner herein is a dealer in fertilisers. While so, on 14.12.1992, the Inspector of Vigilance has inspected the business premises of the petitioner and seized 4477 bags of all varieties of fertilizers. He, thereafter, initiated proceedings under Section 6-A of the Essential Commodities Act. Challenging the said proceedings, the petitioner approached the Joint Collector, Nellore. The Joint Collector, after issuing show cause notice and after conducting necessary enquiry into the matter, passed order dated 20.1.1995 directing confiscation of the seized stocks to an extent of 20%. In so far as balance 80% of the stocks are concerned, they were ordered to be released to the petitioner. Assailing the said order of the Joint Collector, the petitioner filed Criminal Miscellaneous Appeal No.38/98 before the learned Sessions Judge at Nellore. The learned Sessions Judge, by the impugned judgment dated 16.7.2001, while confirming the order of the Joint Collector, dismissed the appeal. Hence, the present revision. Heard both sides. Having considered the submissions made on either side and having perused the impugned order of the learned Sessions Judge, this Court is thoroughly satisfied that the learned Sessions Judge was perfectly justified in dismissing the appeal by confirming the order of the Joint Collector. Hence, I do not find any reason to interfere with the order of the learned Sessions Judge. The revision petition fails and it is accordingly dismissed. ____________________________ GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA,J Date:8th July, 2010 pnb
