PETITIONER AND The Commissioner & Director of Agriculture, Andhra Pradesh, Gunfoundry, Hyderabad. ..RESPONDENT THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA WRIT PETITION No.24069 of 2009 ORDER: This writ petition is filed seeking a declaration that the action of the respondent in interfering with the distribution and sale of the petitioner bio-products as being arbitrary, illegal and without jurisdiction. When this matter is taken up for hearing, the learned Counsel appearing on either side fairly conceded that the issue involved in this writ petition is squarely covered by a decision of this Court in Writ Petition No.8207 of 2006 and batch, which were disposed of with the following directions by an order dated 25.04.2006: “In view of the fact that no license is required under the Insecticides Act, 1968 for manufacture and sale of bio-productions 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 bi-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.” Following the aforesaid decision, this writ petition is also disposed of in terms of the above order passed in W.P.No.8207 of 2006 and batch dated 25.04.2006. There shall be no order as to costs. ______________________________ (GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA, J) 09-11-2009 Note: C.C. in two days. (Bo) Gsn.
