law: Seeds Act, 1966
  15. Procedure to be followed by Seed
  
  Inspectors
  (1) Whenever a Seed Inspector intends to take
  
  sample of any seed of any notified kind or variety for analysis, he shall-
  (a) give notice in
  
  writing, then and there, of such intention to the person from whom he intends
  
  to take sample;
  (b) except in special
  
  cases provided by rules made under this Act, take three representative samples
  
  in the prescribed manner and mark and seal or fasten up each sample in such
  
  manner as its nature permits.
  (2) When samples of any seed of any notified
  
  kind or variety are taken under sub-section (1), the Seed Inspector shall-
  (a) deliver one sample
  
  to the person from whom it has been taken;
  (b) send in the
  
  prescribed manner another sample for analysis to the Seed Analyst for the area
  
  within which such sample has been taken; and
  (c) retain the
  
  remaining sample in the prescribed manner for production in case any legal
  
  proceedings are taken or for analysis by the Central Seed Laboratory under
  
  sub-section (2) of section 16, as the case may be.
  (3) If the person from whom the samples have 
  
  been taken refuses to accept one of the samples, the Seed Inspector shall send 
  
  intimation to the Seed Analyst of such refusal and thereupon the Seed Analyst 
  
  receiving the sample for analysis shall divide it into two parts and shall seal 
  
  or fasten up one of those parts and shall cause it, either upon receipt of the 
  
  sample or when he delivers his report, to be delivered to the Seed Inspector who 
  
  shall retain it for production in case legal proceedings are taken
  (4) Where a Seed Inspector takes any action
  
  under clause (c) of sub-section (1) of section 14,-
  (a) he shall use all
  
  dispatch in ascertaining whether or not the seed contravenes any of the
  
  provisions of section 7 and if it is ascertained that the seed does not so
  
  contravene, forthwith revoke the order passed under the said clause or, as the
  
  case may be, take such action as may be necessary for the return of the stock
  
  of the seed seized;
  (b) if he seizes the
  
  stock of the seed, he shall, as soon as may be, inform a magistrate and take
  
  his orders as to the custody thereof;
  (c) without prejudice
  
  to the institution of any prosecution, if the alleged offence is such that the
  
  defect may be removed by the possessor of the seed, he shall, on being
  
  satisfied that the defect has been so removed, forthwith revoke the order
  
  passed under the said clause.
  (5) Where a Seed Inspector seizes any record,
  
  register, document or any other material object under clause (d) of sub-section
  
  (1) of section 14, he shall, as soon as may be, inform a magistrate and take
  
  his orders as to the custody thereof.
