THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY Writ Petition No.6201 of 2002. ORDER: This writ petition is filed challenging the insistence on the part of the respondent-market committee that the petitioners shall obtain licence under Section 7(1) of the A.P.(Agricultural Produce and Livestock) Act, 1966 (for short ‘the Act’), for their activity of manufacturing Tapioca chips. The petitioner contends that their activity is not at all covered by the provisions of the Act. Their case is that the item manufactured by them is “Cassava” and not “Tapioca”. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned Standing Counsel for the respondent-market committee. An identical issue fell for consideration before this Court in W.P.No.8456 of 2002. After taking into account the judgments rendered by this Court on similar issue, this Court allowed W.P.No.8456 of 2002 through order, dated 18.07.2007. Following the same, this writ petition is allowed and it is directed that the respondent shall not insist upon the petitioners to obtain licence under Section 7(1) of the Act for their activity of manufacturing “Cassava”. There shall be no order as to costs. _________ 29.12.2008 JSU THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY Writ Petition No.6201 of 2002 Date: 29.12.2008 JSU
