Petitioner is a local broker who trades in food grain after purchasing from the farmers of his area but is not a licensee under food grain control order. It is submitted on his behalf that the subject matter of Confiscation Case No. 6 of 2010-2011 was seized from his custody and the food 2 grains are rotting and likely to be destroyed if not released in his favour. 2. Having heard counsel for the petitioner and the State, I direct the confiscating authority, the District Magistrate, Muzaffarpur to release the food grain seized for the petitioner on furnishing sufficient landed security by the petitioner. The release of food grain in favour of the petitioner, however, shall be subject to the result of the confiscation case. 3. With the aforesaid observation and direction, the writ petition is disposed of. Ibrar/ ( V. N. Sinha, J.)
