Petitioner submits that the second respondent, Taluk Supply Officer, visited the Agency on 11.9.2007 and perused the records. Petitioner apprehends coercive action against him at the instance of the first respondent by the third respondent, Circle Inspector of Police, under the Essential Commodities Act. He therefore, filed Ext.P2 application before the District Collector. It is upto the petitioner to pursue Ext.P2. But I do not find any reason for this Court interfering at this stage. If any action is taken against the petitioner, he obviously has his remedies under the Act. Subject to the above, writ petition is disposed of. V.GIRI, Judge mrcs
