5. 07.12.2010 Heard learned Counsel for the petitioners and the learned

Counsel for the State.

Learned Senior Counsel Shri N. K. Agrawal very fairly

submits from Annexure ‘A’ to the counter affidavit in both writ

applications that the suspension of the fertilizer licence having

been revoked by the authorities in November 2010 the writ

applications have become infructuous to that extent. But he

expresses an apprehension that the licenses were valid till March

2010 and the authorities may not accept any application for

renewal on ground that the time stipulated to apply after March

2010 has expired.

The licenses of the petitioners were suspended in

November 2009 and had its validity till March 2010. If the

respondents have revoked the suspension in November 2010 by

a fiction of law it would be deemed that their licenses have

expired in November 2010 and they are eligible to apply on that

basis to be considered for renewal of licence in accordance with

law.

The writ applications stand disposed.
