It is stated that previously the petitioner herein filed W.P.No.5008 of 2005 and this Court disposed of the same on 15.3.2005.

Seeds developed and manufactured by the petitioners, and sold as certified or labelled seeds, are not subject to levy of market fee, and the demand notices issued therefor are set aside. b. Vegetable seeds are not covered by the provisions of the Andhra Pradesh (Agricultural Produce and Livestock) Markets Act, 1966 and are not subject to levy of market fee. c.
