Heard Sri P.Raja Sekhar, learned Counsel for the petitioners, and perused the record. The learned Counsel for the petitioners submitted that respondent No.5 is running the aforesaid rice mill, despite the fact that the sale in favour of her deceased husband by the partners of the petitioners is prohibited by the partnership agreement, and thus, the sale is a nullity. He submitted that though the petitioners made representations dated 07-03-2008 and 25-04-2008 to respondent No.4 to take action for cancellation of permission granted in favour of respondent No.5, so far no action has been taken thereon. I have considered the submissions of the learned Counsel for the petitioners. Since the grievance of the petitioners is innocuous, respondent No.4 is directed to dispose of the petitioners’ representations dated 07-03-2008 and 25-04-2008, in accordance with law, after giving an opportunity of personal hearing to the petitioners and respondent No.5, within a period of six weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. Subject to the above observations, the Writ Petition is disposed of. As a sequel to disposal of the Writ Petition, WPMP.No.13593 of 2008 filed by the petitioners for interim relief is disposed of as infructuous. ____________________ (C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J) 29th April, 2008 Note: Furnish CC in a week.
