HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No. 12956 of 2007 Dated 21st June 2007 Between: M/s. San Industry, rep.by its Proprietor Dr.Radha Kishan …Petitioner and The Commissioner & Director of Agriculture, Opp.L.B.Stadium, Hyderabad. …Respondent HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No. 12956 of 2007 O R D E R: The petitioner submitted an application, dated 11.5.2007, under Section 13 of the Insecticides Act, read with Rule 9 of the Insecticides Rules, for grant of licence, to manufacture certain items of insecticides. Its grievance is that though the application is complete and proper, in all respects, the licensing authority i.e. the respondent, has not taken any steps thereon. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Government Pleader for Agriculture. The Insecticides Act and the Rules made thereunder, prescribe the procedure for grant and renewal of licence. An application is to be made in Form No.III, for grant of licence. The conditions, that are required to be complied with, are also indicated under the relevant provisions. No person or Agency can undertake manufacture of any insecticide, unless necessary licence is granted. If the processing of the application is delayed, the very purpose of invention would be defeated. Hence, the writ petition is disposed of, directing the respondent to pass appropriate orders on the application of the petitioner, in accordance with law, within a period of six (6) weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. There shall be no order as to costs. __________________________ Dt. 21.06.2007 L.NARASIMHA REDDY, J PAN
