The petitioner has filed this contempt petition alleging disobedience of order dated 08.05.2025 passed in WPC No. 2373 of 2025. 2. The facts in brief are that the petitioner/proprietor of rice mill were allotted 29,490 quintals of paddy from FCI and he was supposed to return 19955.883 quintals of Custom Milled Rice (CMR) to Marketing Federation(Mark. Fed.). The petitioner deposited CMR with the Mark. Fed., but when 3155.107 quintals of rice was left with the petitioner as the Mark. Fed. declined to accept it, therefore, WPC No. 2373 of 2025 was filed and vide REKHA SINGH 2 order dated 08.05.2025 direction was issued to the Mark. Fed. to permit the petitioner to deposit 3155.107 quintals of Custom Milled Rice (CMR) by 30.04.2025 subject to verification of quantity and quality. 3. Correspondence dated 26.03.2025 reads as under :- "1/ छत्तीसगढ़ राज्य सहकारा विपणन सघ मय. न रायपरा द्वारा सदर्भित पत्र क्रमका 2 म उल्ले$खि&त अनसरा &रा फ विपणन र्ष 2023-24 म *तितका सत्यपन म शॉ.र्टे0ज पय$ गय$ का ले 147 तिमलेरा म स$ &रा फ विपणन र्ष 2023-24 म का ले 0.88 ले& म$. र्टेन चाले लिलेय जन शॉ$र्ष ह4, जिजसम स$ 0.53 ले& म$. र्टेन चाले मत्र शॉ.र्टेज का$ काराण जम विकाय$ जन$ स$ प्रतितबंति8त विकाय गय ह4।" 4. It appears that the respondents No.1 after physical verification found shortage of 4501.20 quintals of paddy, and therefore, they did not accept the Custom Milled Rice pursuant to order passed in WPC No. 2373 of 2025. 5. As the correspondence dated 26.03.2025 has already been made part of order passed in WPC No. 2373 of 2025, therefore, the respondents were not in position to overlook or ignore said document. They physically verified the stock and found shortage of 4501.20 quintals of paddy, in light of order dated 26.03.2025 of the State Government, all CMR (Custom Milled Rice) except the CMR corresponding to shortage has been accepted. It appears that there is no disobedience of order passed in WPC No. 2373 of 2025. 6. Accordingly, contempt proceeding is dropped. Notice issued to respondents stand discharged.
