2. The petitioner seeks for issuance of a writ of mandamus to forbear the respondents from interfering with the petitioner's right to carry on the manufacture and sale of Ayurvedic preparations, namely, Asokarishtam, Kanakasavam, https://hcservices.ecourts.gov.in/hcservices/
Santhanasavam and Thiripalarishtam under the Sahasrayogam Text of Ayurvedic Medicines as authorized by the Drugs Controller under Drug Licence No.317, dated 01.01.1987 and as renewed upto 31.12.2002.
3. The petitioner's grievance was that the respondent police were interfering with the petitioner's right to carry on the manufacture and sale of Ayurvedic preparations inspite of they possessing the requisite license. Admittedly, the license was renewed upto 31.12.2002 only. But, as of now, it is not known what is the present position. Therefore, as long as the petitioner is having valid license and are carrying on lawful trade, they need not apprehend that the police authorities will take action against them.
4. With the above observations, the writ petition is disposed of. No Costs. WMP.No.25972/04 is closed. Sd/- Asst.Registrar (CS III ) /true copy/ Sub Asst. Registrar To
