THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE ASHUTOSH MOHUNTA WRIT PETITION No.17084 OF 2011 ORDER: Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Government Pleader for Prohibition and Excise appearing for respondent Nos.1, 2 and 4. At the request of learned Government Pleader, writ petition is disposed of at the stage of admission. In this writ petition, the petitioner seeks to declare the action of respondents in interfering with its business in black Jaggery and Alum, which is being run under valid licence and also seizure of such material even on production of bills and way bills, as illegal and arbitrary. Petitioner is M/s. M.V. Kirana, Jaggery & Alum Traders at Totapalli Village, Bhadrachalam Mandal, Khammam District. In the affidavit filed in support of the Writ Petition, it is stated that it purchases black Jaggery and Alum from Agricultural Market Yards under bills and sells the same under valid bills. The grievance of the petitioner is that though it is doing business in black Jaggery and Alum under valid licence, which is not an offence, respondents are interfering with its business. So far as black Jaggery and Alum are concerned, if they are not used for the purpose of illicit liquor, respondents cannot interfere with the same. Unless a case is registered against the petitioner alleging that it is indulged in the manufacture of illicit liquor, or supply of such material for the manufacture of illicit liquor, no interference is called upon. In the facts and circumstances of the case, as no cases are registered against the petitioner, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the Writ Petition with a direction to the respondents not to interfere with the business of the petitioner. It is, however, made clear that if the petitioner is indulging in the manufacture of illicit liquor, this order does not preclude the respondents from taking steps in accordance with law. With the above observations and directions, the Writ Petition is disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs. _________________________________ JUSTICE ASHUTOSH MOHUNTA June 21, 2011 MD IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD TUESDAY, THE TWENTY FIRST DAY OF JUNE TWO THOUSAND AND ELEVEN PRESENT THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE ASHUTOSH MOHUNTA WRIT PETITION No.17084 OF 2011 Between: M/s.
