PETITIONER AND The Joint Director of Agriculture, Guntur District, Guntur & another. .....RESPONDENTS HON’BLE MR JUSTICE A. GOPAL REDDY W.P. No.24396 OF 1995 ORDER: The licence granted to the petitioner under the Fertilizer (Control) Orders, 1985 for sale of fertilizers, which is valid till 12.7.1997, has been suspended by the second respondent through the proceedings dated 4.10.1995 alleging that the petitioner was selling the Urea at an higher price than the rate fixed by the Government. Challenging the said proceedings, the present writ petition has been filed. While admitting the writ petition, this Court passed an interim order in W.P.M.P.No.30023 of 1995 on 31.10.1995 directing the respondents to revoke the impugned suspension order against the petitioner if the enquiry as contemplated under Clause 31(2) of the Fertilizer (Control) Order, 1985 had not been completed within the time stipulated therein. It was also made clear that the direction would not preclude the respondents from taking action under Clause 31(1) of the Control Orders. No representation on either side. The respondents have not filed any counter affidavit apprising the action initiated against the petitioner, if any, under Clause 31(1) of the Control Orders for the alleged violation. In view of the fact that the period of the licence granted to the petitioner has already been expired, the cause in this writ petition does not survive for adjudication. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is dismissed. No costs. ________________ A. GOPAL REDDY, J 20th MARCH, 2006. Tsr
