Section 2(28C) defining "Joint Commissioner" to include the Additional Commissioner governed the approval requirement for penalty proceedings, and a harmonious reading of the Act showed no indication in section 274(2) that the inclusive definition was excluded.

The writ petitions were dismissed, with liberty preserved to pursue statutory remedies on the merits.
