Andhra Pradesh. .....RESPONDENT Counsel for the Petitioner:MR.V.R.REDDY KOVVURI Counsel for the Respondent: GP FOR AGRICULTURE The Court made the following : O R D E R: This writ petition is filed for a writ of Mandamus to declare the action of the respondent in interfering with the manufacture and sale of Glomax-Granuels, Glomax-Liquid, Flobact, Florid, Elex-9, B.T.Care and Magnov-F+ (bio-products), as illegal and arbitrary. At the hearing, Sri V.R.Reddy Kovvuri, learned counsel for the petitioner, invited my attention to order dated 15-02-2008 in W.P. No.3037 of 2008, wherein, on a similar plea, this Court disposed of the writ petition with the following terms. a. It shall be open to the petitioners to submit a sample of 5 kg of each product dealt with by them, together with the corresponding literature, throwing light upon the manufacturing process as well as the contents thereof, to the respondent herein; b. within two (2) weeks from the date of submission of the samples and the literature by the petitioners, the respondent shall get the same analysed in a suitable laboratory and intimate the result of the analysis, to the petitioners; c. in case, the analysis reveals that the products dealt with by the petitioners answer the description of the products mentioned in Schedule-III to the Control Order, the petitioners shall be entitled to deal with the products, only after obtaining licence under the Control Order. On the other hand, if the result is found otherwise, the petitioners shall not be subjected to the regime under the Control Order or the Act; and d. if the respondent fails to initiate the result of the analysis within two (2) weeks from the date of submission of the samples and the literature, it shall be open to the petitioners to deal with the products, notwithstanding the impugned letter and the memo, as long as the products are not insecticides or chemicals. Since the petitioner claims that he is also involved in manufacture of bio-products and the subordinates of the respondent have been interfering with his business, on the ground that he has not taken licence under the Fertilizer Control Order, 1985, similar directions may be given. Learned Government Pleader for Agriculture submitted that the respondent cannot have any objection to carry out the tests relating to the products being manufactured and sold by the petitioner. Under the above circumstances, the writ petition is disposed of in similar terms as contained in order dated 15-02-2008 in W.P. No.3037 of 2008 with the direction that the said order shall be read as part of this order. As a sequel to disposal of main petition, WPMP No.23451 of 2008 filed by the petitioner for interim relief is dismissed as infructuous. C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J Dated 19th August, 2008 vrn
