Satyanarayana, aged about 41 years, Poranki, Vijayawada, Krishna District … Appellant And The District Collector, Vijayawada, Krishna District and three others … Respondents THE HON’BLE THE CHIEF JUSTICE SHRI MADAN B. LOKUR AND THE HON’BLE SHRI JUSTICE SANJAY KUMAR WRIT APPEAL No. 984 OF 2011 JUDGMENT: (per the Hon’ble the Chief Justice Shri Madan B. Lokur) 1. The grievance of the appellant is with regard to conduct of raids and seizure of LPG cylinders from its campuses and branches. 2. The case of the respondents was that the appellant is not entitled to use domestic cylinders for commercial purposes i.e., for running a hostel for its students. 3. It appears that during the pendency of the writ petition challenging the raid and seizure, proceedings have been initiated against the appellant under Section 6-A of the Essential Commodities Act, 1955 (for short ‘the Act’) and an interim order has also been granted by this Court in the writ petition filed by the appellant whereby on deposit of an amount of Rs.1,00,000/- by way of bank guarantee the cylinders have been released. 4. Under these circumstances, we do not think it appropriate to interfere in this writ appeal filed against the orders passed by the learned single Judge. 5. The appellant has its remedies under Section 6-A of the Act. 6. The writ appeal is dismissed. The interim application is also dismissed. MADAN B.
