Rama Krishna for Sri S. Srinivas Reddy Counsel for the respondents: AGP for Civil Supplies This Court made the following: THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.25401 of 2002 ORDER:- This writ petition is ﬁled assailing order dated 17.12.2002 of respondent No.2, who, on the basis of the seizure of petroleum products from the petitioner, instructed the petitioner not to open the pumps till the legal proceedings are over. This Court, by order dated 25.12.2002, directed the respondents to permit the petitioner to carry on business by rectifying any error in the machinery. At the hearing, learned counsel for the parties admitted that this order is still in force. However, they stated that the status of the legal proceedings is not known. Since the interim order by which the petitioner is permitted to operate his petroleum outlet for more than 5 ½ years is subsisting, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition with the direction to the respondents to complete the legal proceedings, if not already done and till such time, the petitioner shall be permitted to run the outlet as directed by this Court by order dated 25.12.2002. Ordered accordingly. As a sequel to disposal of the writ petition, WPMP.No.32080 of 2002 ﬁled by the petitioner for interim relief is disposed of as infructuous. ____________________________ C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J Date: 16.10.2008 ES
