1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE FOR RAJASTHAN AT JAIPUR BENCH, JAIPUR. O R D E R S.B. CIVIL WRIT PETITION No.3828/2000. : : M/s Laxmi Agro Trading Company Vs. The Director, Department of Agriculture, Rajasthan & Anr. : : Date of Order 21.4.2009 HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE MOHAMMAD RAFIQ Mr. Anil Mehta for the petitioner. Mr. Zakir Hussain, Addl.Govt.Counsel for the State. Heard learned counsel for the parties. 2. The grievance of petitioner is that even though petitioner is a licensee authorised to sale insecticides as per provisions of Insecticides Act, 1968, but in the license that is issued to petitioner, the column meant for indicating insecticides is left blank and list of manufacturers is appended thereto. 3. Shri Anil Mehta, learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that there is no requirement of attaching list of manufacturers, therefore, the respondents may be required to delete such list. Instead they be directed to insert names 2 of insecticides for the sale of which petitioner was granted license. 4. Shri Zakir Hussain, learned Additional Government Counsel has opposed the writ petition and submitted that names of manufacturers are deliberately indicated with a view to protecting citizen/farmers/common people from the sale of spurious insecticides. 5. Upon hearing learned counsel for the parties and perusing the material on record, I find that in the performa that is given in Form No.8 appended in Schedule-I of Insecticides Act, the blank column indicated against insecticides clearly show that names of insecticides ought to be given in the license so that all concerned may know as to which of the insecticides the licensee is authorised to sale. But at the same time, if the respondents have taken additional care by indicating the names of the manufacturers of the insecticides, no exception be taken thereto. Even the license, which has been issued to petitioner indicates that there are number of blank lines left unfilled viz. after the words “M/s Laxmi Agro Traiding Commpany, Bus Stand, Chomu is hereby licensed to sell stock or exhibit for sale or 3 distribute by retail insecticide”........... The prayer of petitioner to the extent that insecticides for which he is granted license to sale should also be indicated in the license appears to be genuine and also in keeping with the provisions of law. In view of above, this writ petition is disposed of with direction that respondents shall henceforth, whenever renewal of petitioner's license becomes due, indicate the names of insecticides which he is authorised to sale in addition to names of manufacturers. No costs. (MOHAMMAD RAFIQ)J. A.Arora/- Item No.40.
