THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R.SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No.26104 of 2008 ORDER: In this Writ Petition, petitioner seeks a mandamus declaring the action of the respondents in not considering his application for grant of license under the provisions of the Andhra Pradesh (Agricultural Produce and Livestock) Markets Act, 1966 to carry on business as Cotton Commission Agent, as illegal and arbitrary. At the stage of admission, on 28.11.2008, this Court in WPMP.No.34157 of 2008 directed the respondents to consider the application of the petitioner for grant of such license. Though the Writ Petition is of 2008, no counter- affidavit is filed. Having regard to the nature of relief sought for in the Writ Petition and as this Court passed the interim order as early as on 28.11.2008, I deem it appropriate to direct the respondents that if the license is granted to the petitioner pursuant to the interim order passed by this Court, he may be permitted to do business as per the terms and conditions of license. It is made clear that if for any reason, the respondents rejected to grant license to the petitioner, it is open to him to avail the remedies under the provisions of the Andhra Pradesh (Agricultural Produce and Live Stock) Markets Act, 1966. Subject to the above, the Writ Petition is disposed of. No order as to costs. ______________________ R.SUBHASH REDDY, J 13th DECEMBER, 2011. kvni
