HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA Criminal Revision Case No.631 OF 2001 ORDER: The petitioner filed this revision case against the judgment in Crl.A.No.120 of 1999 dated 29/02/2000 on the file of the Principal Sessions Judge, Nalgonda. The Inspector of Police, VCCSD, Nalgonda, on 01/05/1999 visited the house-cum-godown bearing D.No.2-175 of Yerrabelli village and found that the appellant stored 82 quintals of red gram and was running kirana shop without food grain licence and without maintaining any records. In the light of the same, he seized the stocks and reported the matter to the Collector, Nalgonda, who in turn, initiated the proceedings under Section 6-A of the Essential Commodities Act. The Joint Collector, Nalgonda, having considered the entire material, came to the conclusion that the allegation made against the petitioner is true, and accordingly, confiscated the stock, however, restricting the same to 20%. Against the order dated 10/08/1999 passed by the Joint Collector, the petitioner preferred Crl.A.No.120 of 1999, and the Principal Sessions Judge, Nalgonda, dismissed the same. Aggrieved by the judgment dated 29/02/2000 the petitioner filed this revision case. Having perused the orders impugned in this revision case, this Court is of the considered view that the Joint Collector and the lower appellate Court have rightly come to the conclusion that the petitioner stored 82 quintals of red gram without possessing any valid licence. The said finding, in my considered view, is perfectly justified and does not warrant any interference by this Court. Hence, the Criminal Revision Case is dismissed. _________________________ GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA, J 26th March, 2010 SKM
