Having regard to the fact that pursuant to the impugned seizure the confiscation proceedings under Section 6-A of the Essential Commodities Act, 1955, are pending before the 1st respondent, though I am not inclined to express any opinion as to the correctness of the alleged contraventions, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition with a direction to the 1st respondent to dispose of the enquiry under Section 6-A of the Essential Commodities Act, 1955, following due process of law as expeditiously as possible preferably within a period of four (4) weeks from the date of receipt of this order. Till such time, the stocks seized under the panchanama dated 11.06.2010 shall not be sold. Writ Petition is accordingly disposed of. No costs. ​ ____________ Date: 18.06.2010 G.
