Case No. 43 of 2010 dated 30.1.2010 instituted under Section 7 of the Essential Commodities Act. It has been submitted that from the facts of the case, no offence is made out as also that he had valid receipts for possession of the Diesel, Petrol and Kerosene. Since the matter is still under investigation, I am not inclined to interfere in the same. However, the Investigating Officer through Superintendent of Police, Vaishali, is directed to consider all these materials and conclude the investigation within a period of six months. With these observations, the application is disposed of. S.Ali ( Anjana Prakash, J.)
