This Court, by orders dated 03.12.2008, 04.12.2008 and 10.12.2008, directed the respondents to permit the petitioners to sell their free sale sugar stock manufactured at their respective units during the sugar year 2008-09 to discharge their contractual and statutory obligation on the condition that their companies clear the dues payable to the farmers for the sugarcane crop of previous years and for the present crop also. Inasmuch as the petitioners are already permitted to sell the non- levy/free sale sugar during the sugar year 2008-09, the cause in the writ petitions does not survive for adjudication. The respondents are directed not to initiate any prosecution only for the reason that they have sold the said sugar. Subject to the above direction, the writ petitions are disposed of. As a sequel to disposal of the writ petitions, the respective WPMPs and WVMPs filed in this batch of cases stand disposed of as infructuous. __________________________ C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J Date: 14.07.2010.
