THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.ESWARAIAH W.P.NO.27998 OF 2005 Dt.30.12.2005 Between: P.Uma Shankar … Petitioner And The Visakha Co-operative Dairy, rep. by its Chairman, Visakhapatnam and another. … Respondents ORDER: The petitioner questions the action of the respondents in not releasing the stocks to milk booth No.846/25 without notice or cancelling the authorization and thereby taking away the only source of his livelihood as being illegal and arbitrary. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner as well as the learned counsel for the respondents. The petitioner submits that he was appointed as an agent to sell the milk products on behalf of the respondents in respect of booth No.846/25 at Peddagantiada, Gajuwaka, Visakhapatnam District and he has been discharging duties to the satisfaction of one and all without any complaint whatsoever. It is stated that when the petitioner placed an indent for supply of the milk on 1.7.2005, the respondents refused to supply the same. Questioning the said action of the respondents, this writ petition has been filed. Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, I am of the opinion that it is purely a contractual matter between the petitioner and the respondents and if any terms and conditions are violated by the parties to the agreement, it is open for the petitioner to take appropriate action claiming damages or file Civil Suit and obtain appropriate orders. It is also open for the petitioner to make representation before the authorities of the respondents. It is stated that the respondent is a mutually aided co-operative society and therefore it is not a statutory body and none of its functions are statutory nature and no writ lies against its action. I do not see any merit in this writ petition and it is accordingly dismissed. No costs. _________________ (V.ESWARAIAH, J.) 30.12.2005 kpr
