As usual, the stand of respondent No.4 is one of denial and it would be appropriate to reproduce the plea of respondent No.4 in his own words herein below: “At the outset, it is respectfully submitted that this respondent never interfered with the legal mining and transportation of minerals of the petitioner. It is incorrect to say that this respondent at the behest of the petitioner’s rivals, who are influential persons, stopped the mining operations and transportation. It is also incorrect to say that this respondent did not threaten and interfere into legal mining and transportation of minerals of the petitioner. It is submitted that the petitioner never approached this respondent so far.” In view of the above-reproduced plea of respondent No.4, the Writ Petition is disposed of with liberty to the petitioner to approach the Superintendent of Police, Kurnool District, if respondent No.4 seeks to interfere with its mining activities in future. The Superintendent of Police shall consider the petitioner’s complaint, if any filed, and initiate enquiry and take appropriate action against respondent No.4. As a sequel to disposal of the Writ Petition, WPMP.No.14799 of 2009 filed by the petitioner for interim relief is disposed of as infructuous. ____________________________ (C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J) 19th June, 2009 LUR
