IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD (Special Original Jurisdiction) PRESENT: THE HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY FRIDAY, THE THIRD DAY OF SEPTEMBER, TWO THOUSAND TEN WRIT PETITION No.22481 of 2006 Between: Mudigonda Mandal Adarsha Rythu Club, Mudigonda, reptd., by its President- Paspulati Devendram. … Petitioner And The Government of A.P., reptd., by its Secretary, Agriculture, Secretariat, Hyderabad and others. … Respondents Counsel for the petitioner: None Counsel for the respondents: G.P. for Agriculture for R.1. Sri Deepak Bhattacharjee for R.2. None for R.3. This Court made the following: ORDER:- This Writ Petition is filed for a Mandamus to declare the proposed compulsory collection of crop insurance from the members of the petition-club while granting crop loans under National Agricultural Insurance Scheme (NAIS), as illegal and arbitrary. At the hearing, it is represented by the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Agriculture appearing for respondent No.1 and the learned Standing Counsel appearing for the Agricultural Insurance Company of India Limited that this writ petition is liable to be dismissed for two reasons, namely; that the crop season, for which the writ petition is filed, has already been over; and that the issue raised in this writ petition is squarely covered by the judgment of the Division Bench of this Court in Andhra Pradesh Rythu Sangham v. Union of India and others[1]. Having carefully perused the record, I find merit in these submissions of the learned counsel. As the crop season, for which the Writ Petition is filed, has already been over, the cause in the writ petition does not survive for consideration. In any event, the Division Bench in the above said judgment upheld the validity of the crop insurance scheme. Therefore, on both these grounds, the writ petition is dismissed. As a sequel to dismissal of the writ petition, WPMP No.28560 of 2006 is dismissed as infructuous and interim order dated 1-11-2006 is vacated. ---------------------------------------- - C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY,J Date:03-9-2010.
