HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE R. SUBHASH REDDY Writ Petition No.5076 of 2011 Date: March 4, 2011 Between: M/s.Sri Rama Traders, 1-132, Main Road, Madhapur village, Thurkapally Mandal, Nalgonda District, represented by its Proprietor Busani Ganesh, S/o.Bhikshapathi, aged about 34 years, Occ: business … Petitioner And The Commissioner of Prohibition and Excise, Hyderabad and others ... Respondents Order: Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Government Pleader for Prohibition and Excise appearing for respondents 1 to 3. 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 his business in black jaggery and alam, 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.Sri Rama Traders at Madhapur village, Thurkapally Mandal, Nalgonda District. In the affidavit filed in support of the writ petition, it is stated that it purchases black jaggery and alam from wholesale traders and sells the same under valid bills. The grievance of the petitioner is that though it is doing business in black jaggery and alam under valid licence, which is not an offence; respondents are interfering with its business. So far as black jaggery and alam 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. No order as to costs. __________________ R. SUBHASH REDDY, J March 4, 2011 MRR
