Decision
The contents and factual matrix involved in all the writ petitions would revel that the bone of contention in these writ petitions are one and the same, as such, all these writ petitions are clubbed together, heard together and are being decided by this common order. 2. Writ petition No. 2373 of 2025 has been taken as lead case in order to decide the issues involved in this matter. The petitioner in the said writ petitioner has prayed for following reliefs : “10.1.That, this Hon'ble Court may kindly be pleased to direct the concerned respondent to accept the balance of Custom Milled Rice (CMR) of 3155.11 Quintals of Kharif Year 2023-24 in the light of notification dated 30.04.2025 issued by the respondent No. 2 (whereby the time to depositing the CMR of the year 2023-24 has been extended till 10.05.2025), and futher protect the petitioner from confiscation of the bank guarantee / FDR and Post Dated Cheques of the petitioner 30 deposited as security with the bank for this Kharif Year 2023 – 24. 10.2. This Hon'ble Court may kindly be pleased to grant any other relief(s)/ writ(s), order(s) in favour of the petitioner, which the Hon’ble Court deemed fit & just in the facts and circumstances of the case.” 3. The petitioner entered into a contract under the Custom Milling Policy for the Kharif Marketing Year 2023-24 with the District Marketing Officer, acting on behalf of the Chhattisgarh State Co-operative Association Limited. As per the agreement, executed in accordance with the Chhattisgarh Government’s Custom Milling Instructions issued via letter dated 05.10.2023, the petitioner lifted 29,490 Quintals of FCI paddy and 22,260 Quintals of Naan paddy, undertaking to return 67.67% of custom milled rice—amounting to 19,955.883 Quintals of FCI rice and 15,063.342 Quintals of Naan CMR. While the petitioner successfully deposited the full quota of Naan CMR and began depositing the FCI CMR, a balance of 3,155.11 Quintals remains undelivered due to the closure of the online portal since December 2024. Despite his willingness to comply, the portal remained inaccessible, preventing further submissions. On 19.12.2024, a new agreement for Kharif 2024-25 was signed, under which the petitioner lifted 19,557 Quintals of paddy and is similarly prepared to deposit the corresponding CMR. However, respondent - Mark-Fed has refused to accept the CMR under both the 2023-24 and 2024-25 contracts. This refusal continues despite a favorable order passed by the Hon’ble High Court in WP(C) No. 697/2025, while other similarly situated millers have been permitted to deposit CMR under identical court orders. The repeated representations of the petitioner have been ignored. As per the notification dated 26.03.2025, the deadline for CMR submission for Kharif 2023-24 was extended from 30.04.2025 to 10.05.2025. Yet, the 31 petitioner remains unable to fulfill his contractual obligations due to inaction on the part of the respondents in unlocking the portal. Aggrieved by this discrimination and administrative inaction, the petitioner has filed the present petition seeking directions to accept the balance 3,155.11 Quintals of CMR and ensure compliance with the principles of natural justice. 4. It is argued by learned counsel appearing for the petitioner that the online portal has been closed, as such the petitioner is not able to deposit the Custom Milled Rice (CMR) for the current Year 2024-25, as such necessary direction may be issued. 5. Learned counsel appearing for the respective respondents submit that the petition is premature as when the last date fixed is 10.05.2025 for depositing the Custom Milled Rice (CMR) for the current Year 2024-25 then the petitioner, instead of depositing the same before the respondents authorities, has rushed to this Court. The petitioner should have approached the authorities for depositing the CMR as per the notification dated 26.03.2025. 6. Learned counsel for the Mark-Fed submits that in view of the correspondence dated 26.03.2025 bearing reference No. 4-9/2024/29- 1 issued by State of Chhattisgarh to Mark-Fed regarding shortage of CMR for KMS 2023-24, there is an express direction from the State Government that the rice to be deposited in the State pool shall be exclusive of the shortage identified during the Joint Physical Verification (JPV). 7. Heard learned counsel appearing for the parties and considered the rival submissions. Considering that the notification issued on 26.03.2025, however, even after lapse of one month, the petitioner, instead of depositing the CMR, is making hue and cry when the last 32 date is going to expire on 10.05.2025. Since, according to the notification dated 26.03.2025, the last date fixed for depositing the CMR is 10.05.2025, as such, without entering into the merits of the case, considering the prayer made by the petitioner, it is directed that the balance Customed Milled Rice (CMR) be allowed to be deposited by the petitioner on 10.05.2025, as the petitioner has filed this petition on 02.05.2025, subject to abovementioned correspondence and verification of the quantity and quality of the rice. If the online portal is not opened, it may be opened so that the petitioner may deposit the rice. 8. The respondents are directed to inform the respondent - Mark-Fed and other concerned authorities to comply the above order urgently. 9. With the aforesaid observations and directions, the writ petition is disposed of. Shayna JUDGE Sd/- (Amitendra Kishore Prasad)
