ROHINI WRIT PETITION No.22016 OF 2007 ORDER : This writ petition is ﬁled seeking a declaration that the proceedings of the 1st respondent dated 9.10.2007 directing interim disposal of 345 bags of rice seized from the lorry bearing No.AP-04-U-2245 on 4.7.2007 as arbitrary and illegal. When the matter is taken up for consideration, it is brought to my notice by the learned counsel for the petitioner that W.P.No.22018 of 2007 ﬁled by another dealer challenging the very same order impugned in this writ petition was allowed by this Court by order dated 10.07.2008 declaring the order was perverse. The learned Government Pleader for Civil Supplies has not disputed the said fact. Since the very same order which is under challenge in this writ petition has been quashed by this Court in W.P.No.22018 of 2007, this writ petition also deserves to be allowed. Accordingly, the impugned order so far as the petitioner herein is concerned is hereby set aside and the Writ Petition is allowed. No costs. ______________ G. ROHINI, J.
