THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V. RAMULU W.P. No. 17539 of 2005 O R D E R: It appears, pursuant to a notification issued by the A.P. Agro Industries Development Corporation Limited for setting up an Agro Rythu Seva Kendra at Yemmiganur, petitioner filed an application seeking his appointment as an Entrepreneur. It appears, the application filed by the petitioner was considered and an order dated 18.7.2005 was passed informing the petitioner that he has been identified as an Entrepreneur to run Agro Rythu Seva Kendra at Yemmiganur. However, it appears, immediately thereafter i.e. on 30.7.2005 petitioner received another letter saying that he shall settle the old dues of Rs.7,58,209.27ps. in respect of A.V.K.S. Yemmiganuru. He was also informed that unless and until these arrears are cleared, he would not be allowed to run Agro Rythu Seva Kendra at Yemmiganur as per the letter issued by them on 18.7.2005. Therefore, this writ petition. While admitting the writ petition on 10.8.2005, an interim direction was issued to the respondents to consider the case of the petitioner without insisting for payment of arrears. Thereafter, a vacate petition – WVMP No. 2477 of 2005 was filed and the same was allowed and the interim order passed on 10.8.2005 was vacated. Learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that for the arrears due by the petitioner, 2nd respondent had filed O.S. No. 9 of 1999 on the file of learned III Additional District Judge, Kurnool and the same was dismissed. This itself shows that there are no dues pending against the petitioner and, therefore, not permitting the petitioner to run Agro Rythu Seva Kendra at Yemmiganur is arbitrary and illegal. Be that as it may, the Notification itself was issued in the year 2005 and since the interim order granted was already vacated and not it is more than five years and the matter of running Agro Rythu Seva Kendra has already been allotted to third party, it may not be desirable to go into the merits of the case at this length of time. Under those circumstances, the writ petition is disposed of directing the respondents to consider the case of the petitioner as and when such a Notification is issued by the respondents calling for applications for setting up Agro Rythu Seva Kendra at Yemmiganur or in any other place, as per law. No order as to costs. JUSTICE C.V. RAMULU. Date: 27-01-2011. MVB.
