THE STATE OF BIHAR 2. THE DISTRICT MAGISTRAE VAISHALI AT HAJIPUR 3. MR. SANTOSH KUMAR, BLOCK SUPPLY INSPECTOR HAJIPUR 4. THE OFFICER IN- CHARGE OF COMMERCIAL HAJIPUR AT VAISHALI ----------- 2 8.12.2009 Petitioner is a dealer under Public Distribution System having licence no. 54 of 2007 in Vaishali. On 30.4.2008, a surprise inspection was made at his shop by the Block Supply Officer. Kerosene oil found therein was seized and the shop allegedly closed. Thereafter an FIR was lodged and immediately the police seized some other Kerosene oil as well. After due investigation, a final form has been filed as there was no discrepancy in the stock if the two seizures were taken into account. A confiscation proceeding was initiated being Misc. Case no. 4/2008-09 by the Collector, Vaishali in which by order dated 23.3.2009, Kerosene oil have been directed to be released to the petitioner . Petitioner’s grievance is that inspite of these facts, shop premises continued to be locked by the Block Supply Officer, who had locked it at the time of inspection. There is no paper apart from averments to the effect that the shop was locked by the Block Supply Officer and continued to be locked. However, there is no point in keeping this file pending , I direct that if the shop premises seized 2 either by the Block Supply Officer or the investigating officer, they shall unlock the same immediately after making inventory of things therein and handover its possession back to the petitioner. This order must be complied within one week from the date of production of a copy of this order before the appropriate authority. This application stands disposed of. Singh (Navaniti Prasad Singh, J.)
