MARLAPALLE & U.D. SALVI, JJ. DATE: 13th October, 2010. P.C. 1. We have heard Mr. Naik, the learned Counsel for the petitioner Karkhana. Mr. Naik has raised various issues pertaining to the policy framed by the State Government as well as the Central Government in granting licenses to open new sugar factories in the private sector and in the neighbourhood of the existing Co-operative Sugar factories. The main issue is availability of sugarcane in the neighbouring areas and he 2 wp-3840-10 submitted that the tonnage crushed by the petitioner Karkhana from the year 1999-2000 to 2007-2008 which was 417357 metric tonne has come down to 3,44,192 metric tonnes. Similarly, the sugarcane initially imported was 1,07,000 metric tonne and it was brought down to 934 metric tonnes. The total tonnage crushed was 5,24,429 metric tonnes and reduced to 3,45,126 metric tonnes. Mr. Naik, therefore, submitted that the respondent No.1 sugar factory sought to be established will not have adequate sugarcane supply and both the petitioner as well as the neighbouring Co-operative Sugar factories will become sick. These are the issues which fall within the realm of policy matters and it is for the policy makers to address to them. Mr. Naik, therefore, sought leave to withdraw the petition and to submit a representation to the concerned authorities. 2. Leave granted and the petition is disposed as withdrawn with liberty to the petitioner to submit its representation to the concerned authorities and it is for them to address to the issues so raised.
