JUDGMENT The petition involves a short question whether the respondents were entitled to take an action under the provisions of the Seeds (Control) Order, 1983. The petitioner filed this petition with the averments that the Hon'ble Supreme Court had stayed the provisions in Civil Misc. Petition No. 402 of 1984 directing that' 'The persons who are dealers within the meaning of the impugned order shall not be prosecuted for any violation of the impugned order until further orders." The respondents 4 and 5 have in their return said nothing about the order dated 21.6.1984 (Annexure P/3) of the Hon'ble Supreme Court. They have only stated that they have no knowledge whether the petition was still pending before the High Court but that is not enough by itself when the petitioner came with a specific case that no action could be taken by the respondents under the Seeds (Control) Order, 1983 and the Hon'ble Supreme Court having passed the order of stay in the matter suspending the prosecution for any violation of the 'Order', the action taken by the respondents against the petitioner at the relevant time could not be taken due to the suspension order passed by the Hon'ble Supreme Court. In view of the order of the Hon 'ble Supreme Court (Annex. P/3), the action taken by the respondents on 23rd January 1992 could not have been taken as the respondents having clearly stated that the Control, order at that time in view of the order passed by the Hon'ble Supreme Court was not in operation. The petition is, therefore, allowed. The actions taken by respondent No.5 under Annexures P-4, P-6 and P-7 are quashed. Before parting with the order, it is made clear that if the order has been vacated by the Hon'ble S.C., the respondents shall be at liberty to take action afresh against the petitioner. Petition is finally disposed of with the above directions.
