THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA CRIMINAL REVISION CASE No.1178 of 2003 ORDER: 1 The petitioner is a trader and the Inspector, Vigilance Cell, Ongole along with his staff and mediators surprised the godown of the petitioner on 13.03.1991 and after inspection he found certain variations. In the light of the said variations and other irregularities he seized the entire commodities available at the business premises of the petitioner and reported the matter to the Joint Collector, who in turn initiated proceedings under section 6 A of the Essential Commodities Act. After issuance of notice and holding an enquiry, the Joint Collector came to the conclusion that the petitioner has contravened the provisions of the Act and accordingly confiscated 20% of the value of the seized stock in favour of the State. The petitioner questioned the said order dated 31.03.1994 passed by the Joint Collector by filing Criminal Appeal No.185 of 1998 and the learned Sessions Judge, Ongole while concurring with the finding of the Joint Collector, dismissed the said appeal. Hence the present revision. 2 In my considered view, the petitioner was given the maximum relief by the Joint Collector himself. Though the Joint Collector has come to the conclusion that the petitioner had committed serious irregularities and contravened the provisions of the Control Order, however, restricted the confiscation only to 20% and the same was confirmed by the learned Sessions Judge. In that view of the matter, this court is of the opinion that no interference is required and accordingly this revision is dismissed. -------------- 29.07.2010 Kvsn
