Telangana asked not to insist on authorisation letter from AP

Hyderabad: A two-judge bench of the High Court at Hyderabad comprising Acting Chief Justice Ramesh Ranganathan and Justice P Naveen Rao directed the Government of Telangana to not to insist on obtaining authorisation letter from the Andhra Pradesh as a condition precedent for issuing authorisation to manufacturer of mixture fertilizers (NPK).
The bench was dealing with a review petition filed by the Telangana government questioning an order passed by an earlier bench of the court for processing of the application submitted by the Maheswari Fertilisers of Kadapa district for authorisation to carry on its activities in Telangana.
The said company, which manufactures mixture fertilizers (NPK), had obtained licence under the Fertiliser (Control) Order, 1985 and also has authorised to carryon dealership activity in the combined State of AP.
Consequent to bifurcation of the State, it had sought authorisation from Telangana government and its application was opposed by the government on the ground that urea was a controlled fertiliser and its price, distribution and movement was controlled by the Order, 1985 and Fertiliser (Movement Control) Order, 1973. Aggrieved by the order, the company approached the court.
A single judge had directed the Telangana government to not to insist on an authorisation letter. The government had approached the High Court on the matter.
A division bench had upheld the orders of the single judge. Aggrieved by the order, the present review petition was filed. The bench ruled that NPK was not a fertiliser and dismissed the review petition.
