Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned Government Pleader for Agriculture. The impugned notices were issued to the petitioners by the 2nd respondent stating that they are carrying on the trade outside the market yard area without abiding the rules and regulations, and hence call for their explanation as to why a criminal prosecution should not be launched against them before the First Class Magistrate, and directed them to submit their explanations, within one week from the date of notice. It is only a show cause notice. The authority who issued this notice is not under challenge. Therefore, without entering into the merits of the case, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition, with a direction to the petitioners to give their explanations to the show cause notices, if not already given, and also a direction to the 2nd respondent to take appropriate decision, duly considering the objections raised by the petitioners, if no orders have already been passed in pursuance of the impugned notices. With the above observations, the Writ Petition is disposed of. No order as to costs. _____________ K.C.BHANU,J Dated: 16.09.2005 Dsr
