Mr. Rajput, learned counsel appearing for the petitioner would submit that the petitioner is a lease holder of agriculture land bearing Survey No.1279/2 admeasuring 1.0400 hectares situated at Village Saldha, Patwari Circle No.29, Tehsil-Berla, District Bemetara (C.G.). He would further submit that the petitioner was registered with Sewa Sahakari Samiti Saldha for sale of paddy. He would contend that a token was generated in her favour on 29th of January, 2026 for 30th of January, 2026. He would further contend that it was not possible for the petitioner to transport the paddy from her house to paddy procurement centre within a short span of time. He would submit that subsequent token was generated on 4th of February, 2026 and it was rescheduled for 5th of February, 2026 but that fact was never intimated to the petitioner, therefore, she could not sale the paddy. He would further submit that the respondent authorities may be directed to purchase the paddy from the petitioner in accordance with existing paddy procurement scheme. 3. On the other hand, Mr. Mishra, learned Deputy Government Advocate appearing for the State would submit that for the first time, token was generated on 29th of January, 2026 for 30th of January, 2026. He would further submit that on 30th of January, 2026, the Revenue Authorities visited house of the petitioner but it was locked, therefore, physical verification was not done. He would contend that automatically token was rescheduled for 5th of February, 2026 and the petitioner was duly intimated but she failed to turn-up, therefore, the paddy of the petitioner could not be purchased. He would further contend that the extended date for procurement of paddy expired on 6th of February, 2026. 4. I have heard the learned counsel appearing for the parties and placed the documents on record. 5. The respondents have not disputed the fact that the petitioner is a resident and agriculturist of Village-Saldha. It is also not disputed that the petitioner was registered with Sewa Sahakari Samiti Saldha. It appears that twice, tokens were generated in favour of the petitioner but due to unavoidable circumstances, the paddy could not be procured. 6. Taking into consideration the above-discussed facts, the petitioner is permitted to make a representation before respondent No.2/Collector, Bemetara within a period of 10 days from today and in turn, the said authority shall decide the representation so made by the petitioner. The authority concerned shall physically verify the yield of particular year and thereafter, the competent authority shall reschedule token for procurement of paddy. The entire exercise shall be completed by the concerned Collector preferably within a period of 30 days from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. 7. With the aforesaid observation(s)/direction(s), the present petition is disposed of. Sd/- (Rakesh Mohan Pandey) Judge Rekha
