The Hon’ble Sri Justice C.V.Nagarjuna Reddy Writ Petition No.20869 of 2007 Dated 29th June, 2010 Between: G.Nageswara Rao and others …Petitioners And The Government of Andhra Pradesh and others …Respondents Counsel for the petitioners: None appeared Counsel for respondent No.1: AGP for Agriculture Counsel for respondent No.2: Sri Deepak Bhattacharjee Counsel for respondent No.3: ----- The Court made the following: Order: In this Writ Petition, the petitioners have challenged deduction of crop insurance premium from the crop loans released/to be released to them as illegal. There has been no representation for the petitioners on 23-06-2010 and also today. At the hearing, it is represented by the learned Assistant Government Pleader appearing for respondent No.1 and the learned Standing Counsel appearing for respondent No.2- Agricultural Insurance Company of India Limited that this Writ Petition is liable to be dismissed for two reasons, namely; that the Khariff and Rabi crop seasons of 2007 and 2008, for which the Writ Petition is filed, have already been over and that the issues raised in this Writ Petition are squarely covered by the judgment of the Division Bench of this Court in Andhra Pradesh Rythu Sangham v. Union of India and others[1]. Having carefully perused the record, I find merit in these submissions of the learned Counsel. As the crop seasons of 2007 and 2008 have been over, the cause in this Writ Petition does not survive for consideration. In any event, the Division Bench in the above said judgment upheld the validity of the crop insurance scheme. Therefore, on both these grounds, this Writ Petition is dismissed. As a sequel to dismissal of the Writ Petition, interim order, dated 04-10-2007, is vacated and WPMP.No.27063 of 2007 and WVMP.No.2284 of 2008 are disposed of as infructuous.
