as wholesale Dealers in Fertilizers and to issue a consequential direction to the respondents not to restrict the area of the operation of the petitioners to the District of East Godavari only"

On 16.7.2015, there was no representation for the

petitioners. Therefore, the case was directed to be posted to today under the caption "for dismissal". Even today, no one represented the petitioners. Hence, it is reasonable to presume that the petitioners are not interested in pursuing their cause in the Writ Petition. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is dismissed for non-prosecution. As a sequel to the dismissal of the Writ Petition, interim order, dated 27.4.2012, is vacated and W.P.M.P.No.16388 of 2012 is dismissed as infructuous. __________________________ JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY 17th July 2015 DR
