Vinuthna Fertilizers Limited Hyderabad. … Petitioner And The Govt., of A.P., rep., by its Principal Secretary, Agriculture Department, Secretariat, Hyderabad & others. … Respondents Counsel for the Petitioner: None Counsel for the respondents: GP for Agriculture The Court made the following: THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.493 of 2006 ORDER: This writ petition is filed for a Mandamus to set aside order dated 28.12.2005, whereby respondent No.26 directed the petitioner not to conduct any sales or distribution of the finished products of Vijay Agromin – 507 x 40 kgs for a period of 21 days or until further orders. At the hearing, there is no representation for the petitioner. The learned Government Pleader for Agriculture submitted that as the impugned order was passed for a period of 21 days and in view of the interim order passed by this Court on 06.01.2006, the petitioner is permitted to carry on the business. He further submitted that after passing of the impugned order, several amendments in the Fertilizers Control Order (for short, “the Order”) have been introduced and that liberty may be given to the respondents to initiate fresh action, if they so desire in terms of the amended provisions of the Order. A perusal of the impugned order shows that no reasons have been assigned for restraining the petitioner from selling the products. While the said order is liable to be set aside on this ground alone, in the light of the above submissions of the learned Government Pleader, the writ petition is disposed of with the direction to the respondents not to interfere with the petitioner’s business in pursuance of the impugned order, however, with liberty to the respondents to initiate fresh action in accordance with law at their option. __________________________ C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J Date: 27.08.2010.
