THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE ASHUTOSH MOHUNTA WRIT PETITION NO.16427 OF 2011 ORDER: Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader appearing for the respondents. The petitioner herein had applied for grant of quarry lease for colour granite to an extent of 1 Hectare in Survey Nos.46 and 55 at Amudalapally Village, Shankarampatnam Mandal, Karimnagar 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 Tahsildar, Shankarampatnam Mandal, 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 second respondent, the Tahsildar 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 judgment of this Court in W.P.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 judgment of this Court, this Writ Petition can also be disposed of following the said judgment. 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 second 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 28.05.1998, as expeditiously as possible. No order as to costs. _____________________ (ASHUTOSH MOHUNTA, J) 16th June 2011 RRB
