THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA WRIT PETITION No.24160 of 2009 DATED:10.11.2009 Between: M/s.Krushi Bio Technologies, rep. by its Proprietor M.Satyanarayana. .. Petitioner. And The Commissioner & Director of Agriculture, Hyderabad. .. Respondent. ORDER: The writ petition is filed seeking a Mandamus declaring the action of the respondent in interfering with the distribution and sale of the petitioner’s bio-products as arbitrary, illegal and without jurisdiction. When the matter is taken up for consideration, learned counsel on either side fairly conceded that the issue involved in this writ petition is squarely covered by an order, dated 25.04.2006, rendered by this Court in WP.No.8207 of 2006 and batch, which were disposed of with the following directions: “ In view of the fact that no license is required under the Insecticides Act, 1968 for manufacture and sale of bio-products as long as they do not contain any ingredients of insecticide as mentioned in the schedule, i.e., Antagonistic Fungi and Bacteria, respondents cannot interfere with the store, sale and distribution of bio-products belonging to the petitioners. It is needless to say if the bio-products contain any chemical or insecticides which endangers the environment, it is always open for the concerned authorities to take appropriate action against the petitioners-manufacturers and the dealers of the said bio-products, and by the Executive Magistrate in exercise of powers under Section 133 of Cr.P.C.” The fact that the petitioner herein is also similarly situated is not disputed by the learned Government Pleader. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of in terms of the aforesaid order. No order as to costs. _________________________ GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA,J 10.11.2009 v v
