Petitioner's counsel Abhinav Krishna Uppaluri informed the Bench that lakhs of tonnes of paddy was lying idle at the procurement centres, only to face the wrath of the officials who were denying purchase of paddy despite the State's assurance before the Union government and now the State backtracking on its promise due to which the farmers were resorting to suicide across the State. After hearing the contentions of the petitioner's counsel, the Bench adjourned the PIL to Dec 6.
