In a recent court case, Judge T. Madhavi Devi made a decision about a conflict involving the taking of rice and unprocessed rice from a rice mill. The mill had been providing rice as part of a government program, and the court found the seizure to be questionable.
The person who started the case, Rajesh Kumar, who owns a rice mill, claimed that the authorities wrongfully took his rice and unprocessed rice. This was supplied as part of the government program to ensure a steady supply of rice.
On August 22, 2025, a temporary order allowed Rajesh Kumar's mill to keep processing the seized unprocessed rice. The court told the authorities to let the mill supply the processed rice to the Food Corporation of India (FCI) and the Civil Supplies Corporation.
"The court told the authorities to let Rajesh Kumar process the seized unprocessed rice."
The government lawyer mentioned that Rajesh Kumar's mill had already provided 99% of the required rice. The last 1% was promised to be delivered soon. The court was pleased with this progress.
Rajesh Kumar's lawyer argued that there were no outstanding payments. They asked the court to make sure that more rice could be supplied for the upcoming season. The court agreed, allowing the mill to request more unprocessed rice, which the authorities must consider quickly.
With these instructions, Judge T. Madhavi Devi ended the case. The court stressed the importance of acting quickly on future requests by Rajesh Kumar's mill.
"The authorities should consider the [application] and make decisions and take action right away."
The court decided there would be no extra charges for this case. Any other pending requests related to this case were also closed.
This decision ensures that Rajesh Kumar's mill can keep running smoothly while following government programs.
