WPCRL No. 1112 of 2010 With Stay App. No. 11057 / 10 Hon. Prafulla C. Pant, J. Mr. Hari Mohan Bhatia, Advocate, present for the writ petitioners. Mr. G.S. Sandhu, Govt. Advocate, present for State. Heard. By means of this writ petition, moved under Article 226 of the Constitution of India, the petitioners have sought quashing of the FIR No. 578 of 2010, relating to offence punishable under Section 3/7 of Essential Commodities Act, police station Haldwani, District Nainital. Admittedly, the petitioners are partners of the Firm M/s Tanimal Bhopat Ram, and authorized dealers for sale of kerosene oil at Jeolikot. It is admitted in the petition that the kerosene oil of said firm was being transported from Lal Kuan to Jeolikot. From the first information report it appears that said truck was found set to unload 6600 liters of kerosene oil in Mukhani in the premises of M/s Mahesh Chand Anil Kumar for unauthorized sale, when the team of Supply Inspectors intercepted it. Having considered submissions of learned counsel for the parties, and after going through the papers on record, this court is not inclined to interfere with the investigation of the case. The writ petition is dismissed summarily with the observation that on petitioners’ surrendering before the court concerned, their bail application shall be heard and disposed of without unreasonable delay, keeping in mind the fact that petitioner No. 1 is a woman, and petitioner No. 2 and petitioner No. 3 are senior citizens. (Stay Application No. 11057 of 2010 also stands ). dismissed (Prafulla C. Pant, J.) 04.01.2011 HN
