PETITIONER a n d The Superintendent of Police, Warangal, Warangal District and others … RESPONDENTS ORDER: This writ petition has been filed by M/s.Sri Venkateswara Granites, represented by its Proprietor Sri.R.Venkateshwara Rao assailing the inaction of the respondents in considering its representations dated 07-06-2010 and 18-06-2010. 2. The petitioner claims to be the owner of the quarry lease for black granite over an extent of 0.496 Hectares in Sy.No.225/120 and 1.25 Acres in Sy.No.264/1 and Sy.No.225/120 of Errballigudem village, Nellikuduru mandal, Warangal district. 3. Several disputes went on with regard to the identification of the leased premises. Ultimately, the matter rested with the passing of orders by the Collector and District Magistrate, Warangal on 31-05-2010. The relevant portion of the order passed by the Collector and District Magistrate, Warangal reads as hereunder: “The point for consideration is whether the vehicles seized by the Tahsildar, Nellikudur to be released or not and whether the quarry operation by the applicant may be permitted in patta land i.e. Sy.No.264/1. I have gone through the record and found that the appellant was permitted to quarry the Black granite in Sy.No.225/120 which is Government land and also in Sy.No.264/1 which is patta land and that the NOC issued by the Tahsildar, Nellikudur was subsequently modified by the Government in Orders in Memo No.14258/M.II (1) 2008-2, Dt:24-11- 2008 and further the lease is also renewed by the Director of Mines, Hyderabad vide Prodgs.No.1343/R6-1/2010, dated 07-05-2010. By considering all the documents, it is a fit case for the appellant to quarry the Black Granite in patta land i.e., in Sy.No.264/1. Further the Tahsildar is also fairly admitted that there is no objection for operation of quarry in patta land i.e., in Sy.No.264/1 of Errabelligudem village of Nellikudur mandal. Therefore, it is ordered to release the seized vehicles and also directed the appellant to furnish the Bank Guaranty for Rs.10,00,000/- (Rupees ten lakhs) as the seized vehicles are used for quarry in the disputed Government land. It is also ordered to operate the quarry in undisputed patta land i.e., in Sy.No.264/1 for which the lease is in force till the year, 2013 and restrain from entering the Government land until final disposal of the case. Accordingly Tahsildar, Nellikudur (Respondent) is hereby directed to release the vehicles which were seized under the cover of panchanama and remove the seals affixed after furnishing the Bank guaranty by the appellant and further ordered to permit the appellant to operate quarry activity to an extent of leased area of Sy.No.264/1 of Errabelligudem village of Nellikudur mandal.” 4. On 07-06-2010 the petitioner submitted representation to the Sub Inspector of Police, Nellikuduru complaining the high-handed action of one Jakkal and ten others in stopping the lorries which are transporting the granites from the licenced mines. 5. There being no action on the said representations by the respondents, the petitioner approached this Court invoking jurisdiction under Article 226 of the Constitution of India. 6. When the writ petition came up for admission learned Assistant Government Pleader for Home takes notice on behalf of the respondents. 7. The factual aspects of the petitioner submitting representation dated 07-06-2010 is not contradicted by the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Home. In that view of the matter, the writ petition is disposed of directing the fourth respondent to take appropriate action on the representation dated 07-06-2010. There shall be no order as to costs. ___________________________ B. SESHASAYANA REDDY, J June 29, 2010. PN THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE B. SESHASAYANA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.14931 of 2010 June 29, 2010
