Accordingly, the case was taken up on 3.4.2017. A detailed order was passed on the said date mentioning in detail that except informing the concerning Magistrate on 27.6.2016, no other proceedings were taken up by the authorities. By filing evasive reply, an attempt has been made by the authorities to mislead this court by making attempt to put blame on the applicant by mentioning that after receipt of show cause notice on 1.3.2017, the applicant has misinterpreted the beginning of the confiscation proceedings. The question is not whether the confiscation proceedings could be said to have started after communication of the same to the CJM or it would start from the date when the show cause notice was issued but it is apparent from the document that from 27.6.2016 till 28.2.2017 nothing was done by the authorities inspite of the fact that repeated opportunities were being given by this Court to submit with regard to the stage of the confiscation proceedings. The reply of the authorities is beautifully silent on this ground that why no action was taken from 27.6.2016 to 28.2.2017 and why the Collector Shivpuri even did not care to issue show cause notice to the applicant on 17.2.2017. However, he informed Superintendent of Police Shivpuri with regard to the pendency of confiscation proceedings.
