PRASAD Counsel for the Respondent No.: GP FOR CIVIL SUPPLIES The Court made the following : COMMON ORDER: These two writ petitions are filed by two individuals, who claim to be brothers. Their business premises were raided and huge quantities of red gram were seized. The petitioners claim that they made applications on 13.07.2009 before respondent No.5, for release of red gram. The petitioners apprehend that even before the said applications are disposed of, respondent No.5 is likely to order for sale of the seized stock. At the hearing, Sri K.R.K.V.Prasad, learned counsel for the petitioners, submitted that the inspecting officials have wrongly taken the stocks belonging to the brothers, who hold separate licences, as the stocks held by one another merely on the basis of their storage at the two licensed premises. In my considered view, it is not appropriate for this Court to render any findings on the plea of the petitioners, at this stage, because their applications for release of the seized stock are stated to be pending before respondent No.5. The writ petitions are, accordingly, disposed of, with the direction to respondent No.5 to pass appropriate orders on the applications stated to have been filed by the petitioners for release of the seized red gram after personally hearing them. Till passing of such orders, the seized stock shall not be sold. As a sequel to disposal of main petitions, WPMP No.19238 of 2009 in W.P.No.14671 of 2009 and WPMP No.19239 of 2009 in W.P. No.14672 of 2009 are disposed of as infructuous. C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J Dated 22nd July, 2009 vrn
