The applicant firmly believes that unless advantages of technological developments are harnessed by the farming community of the country, the farming community would stand to lose in every aspect and the economy of the country too would suffer. The applicant had in the past fought against monopolistic tendencies of a multi 椴 national company, Monsanto, by instituting Writ Petition No.5505 of 2006 in the High Court of Judicature of Andhra Pradesh at Hyderabad, by seeking a declaration that the trait value of Bt cotton seeds 椴 involving Monsanto Technology should be reduced and should be sold at a level that was in vogue in peoples瀞 Republic of China. Taking a cue from the contentions urged by the applicant in the said writ petition, Govt. of Andhra Pradesh had instituted a complaint before MRTP Commission, New Delhi in RTPA No.2/2006, which was disposed of on 8.12.2009, where under orders were passed reducing the price of Bt cotton seeds. loksatta.org/cms/documents/2012-11-10-GMCrops-Petition.pdf
