AFZULPURKAR WRIT PETITION NO.27769 OF 2011 ORDER: Heard learned counsel for the petitioner, learned Government Pleader for Mines and Geology appearing for respondents 1 to 3, and learned Government Pleader for Revenue appearing for respondents 4 and 5. The petitioner has applied for grant of quarry lease under the application dated 14.9.2011 in terms of G.O.Ms.No.181 Industries & Commerce (Mines-I) Department, dated 28.05.1998. An expeditious disposal of such application is regulated by the procedure prescribed under the said G.O. The main grievance of the petitioner is that though the report from the fifth respondent is called for by the third respondent - Assistant Director of Mines and Geology, but the report is not sent in terms of the G.O. directly to the third respondent within the time prescribed. The learned counsel for the petitioner relied upon similar grievance redressed by order of this Court in Writ Petition No.22568 of 2011 dated 10.08.2011 and requests for a similar direction. Learned Government Pleader for Revenue on instructions submits that the Tahsildar has not received any requisition from the Assistant Director of Mines and Geology. In the circumstances, the third respondent - Assistant Director of Mines and Geology shall therefore send one more copy of the petitioner’s application to the fifth respondent – Tahsildar, who shall take necessary action thereon under G.O. Ms. No.181 referred to above and send the report, within thirty days from the date of receipt of the application, directly to the third respondent - Assistant Director of Mines and Geology, in terms of the G.O.Ms.No.181, dated 28-05- 1998. With the above directions, the writ petition is disposed of. No costs. _______________________ VILAS V. AFZULPURKAR , J 11.11.2011 bnr
