As it is submitted by the learned counsel on either side that the subject matter of this Writ Petition is covered by the order dated 28.09.2010 in Writ Petition No. 23363 of 2010, this Writ Petition is disposed of at the stage of admission. The petitioner herein had applied for grant of quarry lease for colour granite for an extent of 3.000 hectares in the land covered by Survey No. 672 of Matlivaripalli Village, Kurabalakota Mandal, Chittoor District. It is stated that the petitioner has paid requisite fees towards the application and also made necessary deposits. On the application of the petitioner, the Assistant Director of Mines and Geology addressed a letter to the Tahasildar, Kurabalakota, for issuance of no objection certificate after verifying the availability and classification of the land for grant of quarry lease. It is the grievance of the petitioner that pursuant to the said letter addressed by the Assistant Director of Mines and Geology, the 3rd respondent – Tahasildar is not sending report/no objection certificate directly to the Assistant Director of Mines and Geology in terms of G.O.Ms.No. 181, dated 28.05.1998. When the matter is taken up, it is submitted by the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader appearing for the respondents that the subject matter of the writ petition is covered by the order of this Court in Writ Petition No. 23363 of 2010, dated 28.09.2010. I have perused the order passed by the learned Single Judge of this Court in the said Writ Petition. Having regard to the fact that the issue, which arises for consideration in the present Writ Petition, is covered by the above said order of this Court, this Writ Petition can also be disposed of following the said order. In view of the directions issued by this Court in Writ Petition No. 23363 of 2010, dated 28.09.2010, this Writ Petition is disposed of directing the 3rd respondent to send his report/recommendations in the matter directly to the Assistant Director of Mines and Geology, as envisaged in G.O.Ms.No. 181, dated 28.05.1988, as expeditiously as possible.
