THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE VILAS V. AFZULPURKAR WRIT PETITIONS No. 29071 OF 2011 O R D E R: Heard learned counsel for the petitioner, learned Government Pleader for Mines & Geology for Respondents 1 and 2 and learned Government Pleader for Revenue for Respondents 3 to 5. The petitioner has applied for grant of quarry lease under the application dated 26.04.2010 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 5th respondent is called for by the 2nd respondent- Assistant Director of Mines and Geology, but the report is not sent in terms of the G.O. directly to the 5th 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. In view of the above, therefore, the 5th respondent-Tahsildar is required to act in term of G.O.Ms.No.181, dated 28-05-1998, referred to above, without further loss of time. The writ petition is, therefore, disposed of directing the 5th respondent-Tahsildar to send the report directly to the 2nd respondent- Assistant Director of Mines and Geology in terms of the G.O.Ms.No.181, dated 28-05-1998, within thirty days from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. No costs. -------------------------------- (VILAS V. AFZULPURKAR, J) 31st October 2011 ksld
