Id., sec. 24(2). 146 A TREATISE ON CONSUMER PROTECTION LAWS However, no periodical re-verification is necessary in relation to any weight or measures used exclusively for domestic purposes. Every inspector concerned is bound to attend the place of verification of any weight or measure within the local limits of his jurisdiction at the specified time and verify every weight or measure brought to him for verification. If that weight or measure conforms to the established standards, he has to put his stamp thereon.29 Where any weight or measure cannot be moved from its location, the inspector has to take necessary steps for the verification of such weight or measure at the place of its location. The inspector has to grant to the person concerned a certificate in the prescribed form indicating the particulars ox the weight or measure verified and stamped by him.30 Where the controller is of the opinion that by reason of the size or nature of any weight or measure, it is not desirable or practicable to put a stamp thereon, a certificate may be issued to the effect that such weight or measure conforms to the established standards.31 The certificate is issued in a prescribed form, containing details about its identification.32 Every certificate of verification should be displayed at a conspicuous place in the premises where such weight or measure is being used.33 IV. Inspection, Search, Seizure and Forfeiture Section 27 of the Act authorises every inspector, within the local limits of his jurisdiction to inspect and test at all reasonable times, any weight or measure lying with any person, or is in use or likely to be used in any transaction or so. He may also verify its conformity with the established standards.34 For ascertaining the correctness of any weight or measure used in any transaction, an inspector may even test the weight or measure of the article sold or delivered to any person in the course of such transaction/'' On reasonable grounds, an inspector may require any person having custody or control of a weight or measure to produce the same for his inspection which he believes does not conform to the established standards and is likely to be misused.36 The inspector may also require the production of every document or other record relating to such weight or measure.37
