Respondents (Cause-title taken from the Case Information System) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For Petitioner :- Mr. Mallick Sudip Ravi, Advocate For State :- Mr.Shreyansh Mehta, P.L. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- VISHAKHA BEOHAR Digitally signed by VISHAKHA BEOHAR 2 SB-Hon’ble Shri Justice Amitendra Kishore Prasad Order on Board 06.05.2026 1. The petitioner has filed this Writ Petition seeking following reliefs:- “A) This Hon'ble Court may be pleased to issue a writ of certiorari or any other appropriate writ, order or direction quashing and setting aside the impugned letter dated 02.04.2026 issued by Respondent Authority; B) Stay the operation and effect of the impugned letter dated 02.04.2026 during pendency of the present petition; C) Grant any other relief that this Hon'ble Court may deem fit and proper in the interest of justice.” 2. At the outset, learned counsel for the parties submit that the issue involved in the present writ petition stands squarely covered by the order passed by this Court in WPC No. 1909/2026 (Gramin Seva Sahkari Samiti Maryadit Borsi, Vs State Of Chhattisgarh) decided on 04.05.2026. It is prayed that the present writ petition may also be dismissed in terms of the observations and findings recorded therein. The relevant paragraphs of the said judgment are reproduced below:– “From the reliefs sought by the petitioner, it appears that the petition has been filed in the absence of any accrued cause of action; a 3 perusal of the letter dated 02.04.2026 indicates that the concerned officers have merely been authorized to initiate proceedings under Section 58(B) of the Chhattisgarh Co- operative Societies Act, 1960 and to undertake the exercise of assessing and calculating the deficit quantity of paddy at the procurement centre, and therefore, at this stage, no adverse order or action has been passed against the petitioner; accordingly, in the considered opinion of this Court, the present petition is premature and does not warrant interference. 7. Accordingly, the writ petition filed by the petitioner is hereby dismissed. 8. However, if any cause of action arose in favour of the petitioner the petitioner is at liberty to file appropriate petition.” 3. Since the grievance of the petitioner is identical to the one considered in WPC No. 1909/2026 (Gramin Seva Sahkari Samiti Maryadit Borsi, Vs State Of Chhattisgarh) decided on 04.05.2026 and the petitioner in the present case is also seeking the same relief, the writ petition is accordingly dismissed in terms of and in line with the aforesaid order. 4. No order as to cost(s). sd/- (Amitendra Kishore Prasad) Judge Vishakha
