The relevant facts are that the Applicant was convicted and sentenced on 13 -9 -1966 for constructing a building, in which the Applicant opened a shop, within the controlled area by the side of Bareilly Moradabad road.

Garg, Magistrate First Glass, Rampur on 29 -3 -1968 and the learned Addl. Sessions Judge already mentioned.
(3.) IT was contended on behalf of the Applicant that a perusal of the relevant provisions of the Act will show that the Applicant could be tried, convicted and sentenced for a continuing contravention if the offence committed by him was covered by the provisions of Sub -section (1) of Section 12 of the Act as laid down in Clause (b) of Sub -section (1) of Section 18 of the Act.;
