It was also stated in the notice that in the event of failure to comply with the notice, the Mining Officer shall proceed to assess the royalty as provided under rule 54 (c)(5) of the Punjab Minor Mineral Concession Rules, 1964. As on date, no royalty has been charged by the department concerned from the petitioner. Otherwise too, mere issuance of notice to produce the record of sale of bricks does not mean that petitioner was directed to pay royalty to the department. In this view of the matter, there is no ground to interfere. Hence, the petition is dismissed. 14.12.2010 (NAWAB SINGH) SN JUDGE
