THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE NOUSHAD ALI W.P.NO.10671 OF 2011 ORDER Heard Sri B.V.Aparna Lakshmi, learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Agriculture and with their consent, the writ petition is disposed of at the admission stage. This writ petition has been filed by the petitioner-company incorporated under the Companies Act carrying on the business of insecticides. It is stated that it has made an application dated 20-2-2011 to the respondent seeking permission for sale/exhibit/stock/distribution/pesticides in the State of Andhra Pradesh. The short grievance presented in this writ petition is that the respondent has kept the said application pending without passing any orders. Learned counsel for the petitioner therefore submits that the respondent is supposed to pass an order within a reasonable time so as to enable the petitioner to carry on its business activities. Having regard to the limited grievance presented in the writ petition, this writ petition is disposed of directing the respondent to consider the application dated 20-2- 2011 filed by the petitioner and pass appropriate orders thereon, in accordance with law, as early as possible, preferably within a period of six weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. No costs. _______________________ JUSTICE NOUSHAD ALI rkk Dated: 19-4-2011
