This Court by order dated 30.12.2008, while adjourning the miscellaneous application filed by the petitioner seeking release of the seized stock, observed that the same would not preclude the petitioner from making an appropriate application before the competent authority explaining the circumstances under which the seizure was effected and the competent authority was directed, on the filing of such representation, to consider and dispose of the same. Sri K.Venu Madhav, learned counsel for the petitioner, states that pursuant to the aforestated direction, the District Collector {Civil Supplies}, Karimnagar considered the petitioner’s representation and passed an order directing confiscation of 10% of the seized stock.
