THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE NOUSHAD ALI WRIT PETITION No.7580 OF 2011 BETWEEN: 1. D. Sanyasi Dora, and others PETITIONERS And 1. The Director/Commissioner for Sugar Cane Government of A.P., Hyderabad, and others. RESPONDENTS Counsel for the petitioner: Sri G.V. Shivaji Counsel for the respondents: G.P. for Agriculture G.P. for Industries and Commerce Sri S. Sasidhar Reddy The Court made the following order: ORDER: The petitioners, who are sugarcane growers, have filed this writ petition to declare the action of the respondents in not issuing them cutting orders for additional quantities of crop, as illegal. The petitioners, whose lands are situated in Chodavaram village, Visakhapatnam District, raised sugarcane crop. They are members within the area of jurisdiction of Chodavaram Cooperative Sugars, Govada. An agreement was entered into between the petitioners and 2nd respondent- Sugar Factory for supply of certain quantity of sugarcane. The agreement provides for supply of additional quantities over and above the guaranteed quantity of sugarcane to the industry. It is stated that as per the original agreement, the 2nd respondent has accepted the supply, but in so far as the additional quantity is concerned, the same is not being accepted on the ground that it is not permissible for it to do so without consent of the 1st respondent, and also due to the fact that this year there is an excess crop, the purchases of which would not be viable for the industry. The petitioners state that wherever such occasions have arisen, the 1st respondent has considered and granted permission to the sugar industries to purchase additional quantities. The learned counsel for the petitioner also refers to an order of the 1st respondent in Rc.No.C1/3295/2010, dated 12.10.2010 whereby permission was accorded to M/s. G.M.R. Industries Limited (Sugar Division), Sankili, Srikakulam District. In view of the said order, the petitioners seek a similar relief. It may be noticed that although it is for the 1st respondent to accord any sanction for purchase of additional quantities of sugar, the petitioners have not approached by making a representation to the said authority. The learned counsel appearing for the 2nd respondent industry would submit that in case any such permission is granted, the industry has no objection to receive the stock from the petitioners. Having regard to the same, I deem it appropriate to permit the petitioners to make a representation to the 1st respondent seeking permission for supply of additional quantities of sugarcane, within a period of one week from today. On such application being made, the 1st respondent is directed to consider the same and pass appropriate orders thereon within a period of two weeks there after. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs. ________________ NOUSHAD ALI, J. 26th April, 2011 Js. Note: C.C. in 2 days
