THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE N.V. RAMANA Writ Petition No.24556 of 2009 ORDER: The petitioner-firm claims to be carrying on business in Kirana, Black Jaggery and Alum under the Certificate of Registration from the Commercial Tax Department, Eluru Circle, Eluru Division. While so, it is its grievance that the respondents, without there being any justifiable reason, are interfering with its business activities. Hence, it filed present writ petition, represented by its Proprietor, seeking appropriate directions in this regard. This Court, while issuing notice before admission, on 12.11.2009 directed the respondents not to interfere with the day-to- day business activities of the petitioner. Today, when the matter is taken up, the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Prohibition and Excise, on instructions, has submitted that a case in Crime No.727 of 2009 has been registered against the petitioner for illegal transport of Black Jaggery. She has further submitted that a Full Bench of this Court in Ganesh Traders Dharmpuri, Karimnagar v. District Collector[1] has held that when Black Jaggery was reasonably found to be meant for manufacture of ID Liquor, it is liable to be seized by the excise officials. It is brought to the notice of this Court that a learned Single Judge of this Court disposed of similar writ petition in W.P.No.13203 of 2010 on 14.06.2010 directing the respondents therein not to interfere with the business activities of the petitioner therein so long as he carries on the business in accordance with the permit. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Prohibition and Excise. At the outset, it is to be noted that a case in Crime No.727 of 2009 has already been registered against the petitioner for illegal transport of Black Jaggery and is pending. So long as the petitioner carries on the business in accordance with the permit, the respondents cannot interfere with its business activities. Once the petitioner contravenes the permission granted and diverts the Black Jaggery and Alum for the purpose of preparing illicit liquor, the respondents have got every right to take action against the petitioner in accordance with law. With the above observations, the writ petition is disposed of, at the admission stage. No costs. ___________________ N.V. RAMANA, J. Date:24.06.2010 VGB [1] 2002 (1) ALD 210
