SURJA RAM Vs. STATE OF RAJASTHAN

JUDGEMENT

(1.) HEARD learned counsel for the parties.

(2.) SURJA Ram son of Bhaguram, Jhuntharam, Nagarmal and SURJAram son of Shri Kishnaram were the members of the Co-operative Society named as Gram Sewa Sahkari Samiti Dhani Chopdaran. It is alleged that they used to obtain sugar for being distributed amongst the villagers. Some of the ration card holders have stated that though entries against their names have been made in the record, but they were not given sugar. On these allegations a case under Section 3/7 of the Essential Commodities Act has been registered against SURJA Ram petitioner and four others namely, Jhuntharam, Nagarmal, Sujaram and Ganpatram. The grievance of the learned counsel for the petitioner is that though Birdhichand was Incharge of the entire affair, yet no case has been registered against him and the petitioner is being harassed by the police for political reasons and two of the co-accused namely, Jhuntharam and Nagarmal have been admitted to bail and as such there was no reason for the lower Court to reject the bail application of the petitioner.
