ORDERSyed Shah Mohammed Quadri, J.1. For over a decade steps taken by the Government to regulate the movement of vehicles transporting liquor, which pass through the State of Andhra Pradesh, have been the subject matter of litigation. These steps are taken on the ground that in the guise of transporting liquor through the State of Andhra Pradesh, it is being smuggled in this State, thus causing loss of revenue to the State. Initially the Commissioner of Excise issued Circular No. CR. 41124/81/EX/G2, dated 30-8-1981 requiring the transporters to obtain transport permits from the Commissioner for that purpose. That circular was assailed in a batch of writ petitions in Brindco Sales Corporation v. Commissioner of Excise,( (1984)1 An. W.R. 393 : 1984(1) A.L.T. 4). Ramachandra Rao, J. (as he then was) allowed the writ petitions holding that none of the provisions of the Andhra Pradesh Excise Act or the Andhra Pradesh Foreign Liquor and Indian Liquor Rules, 1970 empowered the State Governmen...

Reported in: 1991(2)ALT580

ORDERM. Jagannadha Rao, J. 1. Two questions fall for consideration in this SR. The first question is whether a Letters Patent Appeal lies against an order passed by the learned single Judge directing that the appellants herein should pay additional court fee on the cross-objections which are filed in this First Appeal.
