Respondent. Shri S.S. Choudhari, Advocate for the petitioner. Shri Alok Sharma, Assistant Solicitor General for Union of India and respondent Nos. 2 and 3 Mr. K.B. Choudhari, Additional G.P. For respondent Nos.4 and 5. CORAM : A.P. DESHPANDE AND N.D. DESHPANDE, JJ. DATE : 25th February, 2010. COURTS ORDER : 1] By the present writ petition, the petitioner sugar factory is seeking permission to sale 80% of the total sugar production of the sugar factory during the crushing season 2009-10, in open market, keeping aside the levy sugar to the extent of 20%. 2 2] After hearing the learned counsel for the petitioner for quite some time, he does not press this prayer and limits the prayer to the extent of seeking a direction to the Chief Director of Sugar, to consider the representation made by the petitioner dated 11/1/2010 and take appropriate decision, in accordance with law. 3] The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the difficulties faced by the petitioner on account of failure to sale the sugar, are also mentioned in the representation. The learned Assistant Solicitor General has opposed the prayer for sale of sugar in open market by contending that the same is impermissible as held by the Division Bench of this Court in a judgment rendered in W.P. No. 3896/2008. As the petitioner has not pressed the said prayer, we do not propose to go into the said question. 4] We are of the clear view that the representation made by the petitioner voicing its difficulties on account of their inability to sale the sugar needs to be considered and, it would be in furtherance of the cause of justice if the Chief Director of Sugar, considers the representation made by the 3 petitioner dated 11/1/2010, and passes appropriate order thereon. 5] In the result, we direct the Chief Director of Sugar, Ministry of Consumer Affairs, Food and Public Distribution, Govt. of India, New Delhi, to consider and decide the representation of the petitioner dated 11/1/2010, as expeditiously as possible and preferably within a period of one month from today, in accordance with law. Writ petition is disposed of. . An authenticated copy of this order be given to the learned Assistant Solicitor General, to act upon. [N.D. DESHPANDE,J] [A.P. DESHPANDE,J.] grt/-
