2019 (11) TMI 1539 - TELANGANA HIGH COURTIssuance of Certificate of Origin - permission to export RS - HELD THAT:- A bare perusal of the procedure published for obtaining export authorization, dated 25.10.2018, clearly reveals that an applicant has to file the Certificate of Origin along with his application. Until and unless the said certificate is filed along with the application, the permission cannot be granted - Admittedly, the petitioner has repeatedly represented to the respondent No.3 to grant the Certificate of Origin. But despite his representations, no action has been taken by the respondent No.3, so far. By letter dated 24.10.2019, the respondent No.4 had written to the respondent No.3 for seeking consent for sending a team from the Forest Department of Andhra Pradesh to visit and inspect the stock kept by the petitioner. Moreover, a request was made to keep the concerned Field Officers ready for extending necessary cooperation to the visiting team. However, despite the request made by the Principal Chief Conservator of Forest, Andhra Pradesh no reply has been given to the said letter. Therefore, until and unless the Officers of the Andhra Pradesh were to come and verify the legality of the stock kept by the petitioner, the Certificate of Origin cannot be issued. In order to resolve the difficulty being faced by the petitioner, this Court directs the respondent No.4 to send his team of officers for inspection to the State of Telangana on 02.12.2019. The respondent No.3 is directed to ensure that the concerned Field Officers are ready to receive the team from the State of Andhra Pradesh. The petitioner is directed to ensure that his stock is kept in such a way that it would be easy for the inspecting team to identify and verify the stock - Petition dismissed.
